I am a college student that is always trying to think of ways to start and build a millionaire fastlane business. I am not expecting to hit it big with a vending machine business. However, I do believe it is a business where you can make positive cash flow and have low barrier to entry.

Does anyone have an opinion on vending machine routes/businesses? Is it not worth the time you put in because business route business don't have a good multiple? Does anyone have any experience with the business?
