Hi Ron. Your story is very similar to mine (and most solo operator start-ups). The first 2 years will test your fortitude! Years 3+ start to payoff. I was averaging 4/month as solo operator the first 2 years and now I am doing 10 solo (pre-COVID) at $1700 per unit. I have become so efficient solo that I also launched and run RetailMyRide.com website.  I am happy to mentor you and share my trials and errors to help shorten your learning curve. One thing I would definitely encourage you to do is take a look at implementing consignment sales into your overall model and I can definitely help you do that relatively easily. Consignment frees up working capital, reduces overhead, reconditioning costs and market risk so you can use your money to rent/own that larger property you need. Average margin on consignments is $1,000 - $1,300.  My inventory mix is generally 60/40 consignment/owned. I hope Jeff doesn't slap me for promoting, but check us out at https://www.retailmyride.com/pages/become-a-consignment-pro. We offer free dealer signup and a free listing. If you want to open up a mentor channel, reach out to me. JIM
