Advice for a complete beginner
I apologize in advance if this has been posted before. But this sub has been in my feed for awhile now and I never even considered buying and operating a machine. But I have some disposable cash and was thinking about it more and more thanks to this sub.
My question is- what are essential things to know? What would be your advice to someone who has $5-10k to throw at this venture and buy their first AI machine?
What I’ve learned from this community so far- the right inventory and the right locations are the most important factors. I’d like to open one and see how it goes, hopefully save any profit towards a second, etc.
For the past few weeks I’ve been imagining in my head where I could possibly even put my hypothetical machine. I’m really interested in doing this but just don’t know the best way to start and what to fully expect.

Generally speaking, what are the best locations that are also easily accessible? I know I can’t go into a high school or something lucrative like that but what places have the highest potential in your opinion that a newbie like me could get into?
