Two markets side by side — inventory, pricing, and what you actually pay per dollar of cash flow, from live Waterfall data.
the U.S. average has 21949% more businesses on the market than Rhode Island (44,097 vs 200). Rhode Island is cheaper at the median asking price. Both markets price at about the same 2.1× cash-flow multiple, so you pay a similar earnings premium either way — the difference is selection and entry price, not valuation.
