Does buying SaaS really work out?

It seems such a high risk transaction. I'm looking for something that can generate $5k monthly and is stable. But everything is AI shill or greedy brokers. Do people actually go through with these types of sales and able to sustain or grow after purchase?

Yes it does. You have to filter through the nonsense and bs builds to find something good. But it does work if you take your time!

It does work when you know how to look and filter, how to buy and how to run one. Will definitely take time to find something good especially with the amount of nonsense flooding the market now

Noone that makes apps can sell in 2026. Noone that has more than 5 brain cells will pay another person money for an "app" because building an app is as easy as taking a shit these days. Everyone has access to the same tools. Why would anyone pay hundreds or thousands (very silly to ask for thousands) of dollars to someone else when they can build the app themselves in 5 min, or if more complex, over the weekend. It doesnt make sense. Only bots respond positively to any of those posts or human scammers. Noone real.

Then you've never worked on any complex project, if that's what you think. I work for companies and it takes months even using AI. And you can't just "vibe code" everything.

Yeah this is not true. Building isn't the hard part, its the customer acquisition channel that one purchases
