GoKawiilCouple's $470,000 landscaping acquisition nearly collapses after seller disappears
Andrea Palacio and her husband bought a South Florida landscaping company for $470,000, expecting a low-effort, cash-flowing 'boring business' to generate passive income. Almost immediately after closing, the seller disappeared, 10 of the company's 12 employees quit, and monthly revenue fell from $70,000 to $40,000. The couple then had to scramble to stabilize operations and rebuild the business from near-collapse.
