## What a lender would say

- **166** active listings
- **71** **pay a manager** — still earn after a standardized $75,000 wage
- **19** **a lender could fund** — debt at asking ≤ 3.5× those earnings
- **15** **have a broker citing a document** — a tax return or P&L named behind the figures, not seen by us
- **9** **show more than one year** — a trend exists at all

Statewide, 11% survive. The steps are cumulative — each applies on top of the last, the way an acquirer actually works a market.

9 of this industry's 166 active listings (5%) clear every step — the shortlist a lender would actually entertain.

## How much of it is documented

Behind the headline figures: **96** listings say a tax return or P&L backs at least one year, **11** offer a broker's restatement, **44** assert numbers with nothing named behind them, and **15** publish too little to classify. A cited document means a broker typed the words into a form — nothing has been received, read or verified here. It is still the difference between a number with a paper trail and a number without one, and it is the first thing to ask any broker about.
