$5.7M deal. $1.3M/year. First-time buyer.

Hey - Helen here,

How many of you have hit the point in your career where you realize the prize at the top isn't what you thought it would be?

Irving spent almost 20 years rising through the ranks at the same wealth management firm. He'd sit with clients who had everything on paper and think, "this is really not as cool as I thought it was going to be."

Today, he and his wife own a $5.7M physical therapy practice in Texas cash-flowing $1.3M/year.

He'd never worked a day in healthcare before this deal.

A year before this, Irving and Evgeniia had just welcomed their second child. The clock was ticking. They knew if they didn't make a move now, they'd spend another decade building someone else's empire.

They tried on their own. Bought a course, read the books. Couldn't even get brokers to return their emails.

So, they joined SMB Deal Hunter Pro, our business buying accelerator where we help you find, finance, and acquire a business in 6 to 12 months...or we keep working with you for free until you do.

Irving submitted a LOI within 24 hours of seeing the business. The financials were so clean that the only thing adjusted was the owner's salary.

Our advisory team found an obscure tax rule that will save them roughly $1M over the next 10 years. Even his own lawyer didn't know about it.

When the seller left with almost no notice, Irving had to find a licensed physical therapist in weeks or the business would shut down. We break down how he pulled that off on the call.

The practice they bought has a pool, a full rehab gym, and a built-in patient base of seniors. This is the kind of business that gives their family the stability and financial freedom they'd been chasing for 20 years.

And now, they're already planning acquisition number two.

Here's why this week's alumni interview is a must watch:

The seller refused to teach them a single thing about the business. We talk about how they learned everything on their own and why Irving calls it a blessing in disguise.

They had 3 weeks to find a licensed physical therapist or the business would shut down. How they pulled it off from a city hours away.

Irving and Evgeniia run the business by alternating weeks while raising two young kids. We walk through what that actually looks like day to day.

Irving searched for a full year on his own with zero results. We break down what changed when he got help and what he'd tell someone on the fence right now.

And when we asked what he valued most about the program...

"You guys are amazingly responsive. I don't think we ever had a response that didn't get answered within 24 hours. That's huge."
