🏗️ Asset-Backed & Real Estate, Round 3: 7 Businesses For Sale 🏗️
When the deal comes with dirt, buildings, or equipment, the bank sees collateral and you see downside protection. Our asset-backed issues are the most clicked boards we publish, and round three collects deals from across the pipeline where hard assets anchor the price: the Hampton Beach oceanfront portfolio reporting $1M in profit, the St. George short-term rental operation under 3x reported SDE, the Central Valley well driller with $3M of equipment in the price, and four more with real estate, facilities, and equipment behind the numbers. Reply to this email with the deal number(s) and we will send you the details.

#54 - Beachfront Vacation Rental Portfolio | Hampton Beach, NH
📍 Location: Hampton Beach, NH
🏷️ Asking Price: Open to offers
🆔 Business ID: Confidential
💰 Cash Flow: $1,000,000 (owner-reported profit)
📈 Gross Revenue: $2,000,000
📊 Business Type: Beachfront Vacation Rentals
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated
🔥 Oceanfront Real Estate! | 50% Reported Margin! | Sale or Capital Partner!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $1,000,000 in owner-reported profit on $2,000,000 in revenue. A 50% margin in hospitality only happens when you own the real estate underneath it.
• New Hampshire's coastline is 18 miles long. They are not making more oceanfront, and zoning boards guard what exists.
• The owner is open to a full sale or a capital partner, which gives flexible buyers more than one way into the deal.
• Beach rentals in the Northeast book out a season ahead, so forward revenue is visible before you close.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Dynamic pricing and direct booking typically add margin over platform-dependent operators.
• Winterization opens shoulder-season revenue most beach operators leave on the table.
📌 Summary:
The most asset-backed deal in the pipeline: scarce coastal property with hospitality cash flow on top. Deals like this usually trade quietly between family offices; this one came to us direct from the owner. Ask us for the property schedule and the occupancy history first.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

Partner Spotlight
Get Paid $100k-$2M for Your Company's Data.
Your company's operating history is now an asset you can sell, without selling the company.
One of our partners is an AI data lab that trains AI models and agents. It pays businesses to license the records of how they actually run: SOPs, CRM data, project histories, QA processes, and internal knowledge bases. The data is de-identified and turned into simulated business environments for leading AI labs.
The economics are significant. The lab has committed $1B over the next 12 months to buying company data. Published tiers start at $100K+ for qualified partnerships and run to $2M+ for large, multi-team datasets. Larger deals for highly unique data can go higher.
A few points our readers should know:
You keep ownership. You license the data rather than sell it, and you can review representative samples before anything is used. All data is anonymised.
No equity, no debt. It's a new revenue line, not a capital event.
Closed businesses qualify too. The lab also buys the internal documentation of companies that have stopped operating.
Best fit: established companies with roughly 30+ employees and well-documented operations, mainly in English. US and Canada are priority markets.
For owners preparing for an exit, this can be non-dilutive cash before a sale. For buyers, it's one more question to ask on every deal: is there a data asset in this business that the seller hasn't priced in?

#94 - Short-Term Rental Portfolio | St. George, UT
📍 Location: St. George, UT
🏷️ Asking Price: $3,500,000
🆔 Business ID: Confidential
💰 Cash Flow: $1,200,000 (owner-reported SDE)
📈 Gross Revenue: $2,600,000
📊 Business Type: Short-Term Rental Portfolio / Hospitality
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated
🔥 46% Reported Margin! | Zion Gateway Market! | Under 3x Reported SDE!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $1,200,000 in owner-reported SDE on $2,600,000 in revenue, a 46% margin from a professionally run short-term rental operation.
• St. George is the gateway to Zion National Park and one of the fastest-growing metros in America; visitation compounds every year.
• At $3,500,000 the ask is under 3x reported SDE. The property mix, owned versus leased versus managed, is diligence question one and shapes the financing.
• Retirement-driven exit from an owner open to discussing terms.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Dynamic pricing and direct-booking channels typically add several points of margin over platform-only operators.
• Regional supply of professionally managed inventory has not kept pace with demand.
📌 Summary:
Hospitality cash flow at the doorstep of one of America's most visited parks, priced below 3x. Ask us about the property structure first; everything else follows from that answer.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

#141 - Water Well Drilling & Pump Services Company | Central Valley, CA
📍 Location: Central Valley, CA
🏷️ Asking Price: $5,000,000 (includes about $3,000,000 of equipment)
🆔 Business ID: Confidential
💰 Cash Flow: $1,249,426 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $5,945,334 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Water Well Drilling, Pump Installation & Service
🏠 Ownership: Retiring Owner, Established 1998
🔥 $3M Of Equipment In The Price! | Up To 30% Seller Financing! | 4.0x SDE!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $5,000,000 against $1,249,426 of SDE is 4.0x, on a 21.0% margin and $5,945,334 of revenue.
• About $3,000,000 of equipment, including a drill rig and two pump hoists, is included in the price, so hard assets cover roughly 60% of the ask.
• Seller financing of up to 30% is available per the listing, and the retiring owner will stay through the transition and then stay on in sales on commission.
• Founded in 1998 with 8 employees, covering well drilling, pump installation and pump service across California's Central Valley.
• The honest caveat: net profit has swung across the last four years per the listing, and California requires a C-57 well drilling license held by the buyer or a qualified employee. Normalize SDE year by year and set the license plan early.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Service and maintenance work on wells the company has already drilled adds recurring pump revenue between drilling jobs.
• Agricultural, domestic and municipal customers can each be grown on the same fleet; ask for the revenue split by customer type.
📌 Summary:
A 28-year Central Valley well driller at 4.0x SDE, with about $3M of equipment in the price and seller financing available. The license plan and a year-by-year SDE normalization come first; reply and we will send the information memorandum.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.
