Two markets side by side — inventory, pricing, and what you actually pay per dollar of cash flow, from live Waterfall data.
Illinois has 359% more businesses on the market than Kentucky (1,106 vs 241). Kentucky is cheaper at the median asking price. Both markets price at about the same 2.5× cash-flow multiple, so you pay a similar earnings premium either way — the difference is selection and entry price, not valuation.
