Fran's Top Picks
Rooter Right Plumbing
Home Services
This is the kind of boring business I love. Recession-resistant demand, low build-out, high ticket sizes, and you don't need to be a plumber — you hire them. The best cash-on-cash math in this list.
8.0 — Fran Loves ItGolden Years Home Care
Senior Care
Demographics are a tailwind you can set your watch to — 10,000 people turn 65 every day. Caregiver recruiting is the whole ballgame. If you can build a team, this prints steady, meaningful revenue.

Senior Care
Sits at the intersection of two unstoppable trends: aging boomers and people refusing to leave their homes. High ticket sizes, low overhead, real purpose. One of my quiet favorites.
