30 May Buying a Quarry for $17M: A Rock-Solid Investment or Sinkhole?
In this episode, the hosts examine a uniquely asset-heavy small business—a quarry in Massachusetts listed at $17M with $2.7M in cash flow. With a 68-acre land parcel, $6M in equipment, and 5.5 million tons of stone still underground, this business comes with significant upside and risk. They dig into USDA loan potential, specialty product vs. commodity rock dynamics, the implications of fluctuating demand, and how this type of deal might appeal to family offices. There’s even a fun detour into San Antonio’s wild Fiesta tradition. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to buy a hole in the ground that prints money—this is your episode.
