Hello kylevp and welcome to Rotorheads,
You probably won't be surprised to hear that as good as your idea sounds, you aren't the first person to have it! And, unfortunately, if it was truly viable, we probably would've all tried it to get that first start.
The idea was actually raised recently by a gentleman called Kopterman. Now admittedly he was based in the UK and he was looking to buy a Jetranger but I think that a lot of the advice given will apply to you. Here's the original thread:

Hope this helps and the best of luck with it,
