Vending business-Any advice

[ouie]

I recently started a new venture in vending. Sold a contract for 10 locations and now scrambling to buy equipment. Planning on buying machines used (have bought 3 already), planned my route in clusters, and expect to pull about 50 dollars per week per machine from the research I have done. My exit strategy is to eventually sell the equipment and route after it has produced a steady cashflow and repeat. I know this isn't exactly fast lane but I am new to this business and I am learning the ropes. Anyone else here involved in vending and is there any advice you can give someone starting out?
