FYI Happy Thanksgiving!

I remember when I worked at the mall, the dude running a cart in the center of the mall was paying like $8k a month or some crazy shit.
Yep, it's crazy. And there are super hostile terms to lease the cart space by the mall management cos. We finance those guys carts/crap all the time. ALWAYS short term financing. It's rare that they're selling something that doesn't have some short 'trendy' lifespan.

look up those full body water massagers. They sell like hotcakes at tradeshows. Why? I laid in it. IT'S AMAZING!
But in the long run, the paying customers only pay once to 'try' it. Almost no repeat biz (even in gyms, salons, spas)

them: "I have great credit and this is a huge money maker!!!"
me after 20+yrs experience thinking to myself: [yeah. you do today. and in 6 mos the fad will be over. . . and I'll be stuck with this crap.] then saying: Good News! I can finance you for 6 months!
