The hosts dig into a rural Texas porta-potty and septic tank business serving the San Antonio area. They evaluate its $250,000 asking price, operational challenges, and potential ROI, alongside the broader landscape of asset rental businesses. With humorous anecdotes and industry insights, they highlight the opportunities and pitfalls in running such a hands-on enterprise. Is this "crappy" business worth the price, or is it too rural and small to succeed?

Key Highlights:

- Deal Details: $250K for a porta-potty business with $172K in inventory and no disclosed cash flow.

- Business Model: How portable toilet rentals and septic services generate recurring revenue.

- Challenges: Labor shortages, customer retention, and cyclical risks in construction-dependent markets.

- Growth Potential: The limits of a rural market and pairing with other site services like dumpster rentals.

- Humor Break: Funny porta-potty stories and industry quirks.
