In this episode, Michael, Heather, and guest co-host Travis Jamison of Capital Pad dissect a wildly overpriced swim club listing in New Jersey—priced at 56 times earnings. They dig into the real estate angle, the potential (and limitations) of seasonal community clubs, and the headaches of financing a business with minimal cash flow. Along the way, Travis shares updates on Capital Pad, Heather dishes out some New Jersey trivia, and the crew debates whether the worst listings hide the best opportunities.
