Burned out in a 9-5 job making money for other people and considering buying a local business to leave the corporate world. Considered starting one, but it seems like it would take much time and a huge risk and now thinking of buying an existing business as a faster and more certain option. Is there a reliable place (besides bizbuysell) that I can look into?

Why not real estate investing or Airbnb? You need to confirm you like the business & it’s profitable. What’s the timing on leaving corporate America? Both will take time even if you buy the business. You gotta market it & get ppl. Maybe a coach who has successfully done it. Good luck
