Turn key has done this many times. they would be a better source of the cost, Happy to talk tomorrow. I'm up early--4am. Good night,

I say go for it if your returns are good and you are willing to put in the work to market yourself. You will have to add the cost of travel to get to the CTA events when you have your track record. Let me know if I can help in any way. It is not a lot of money to start a business. Even a food...
