Was looking at laundromats, and turns out customers prefer them in strips with a dozen stores, rather than smaller commercial properties or free standing ones where they can do something while there clothes are being washed. 

Thanks,It looks like a nice cash flow type rental.Too bad it's operated so loosely.I suppose he will have to fix the electric now that it's become public.Old cloth covered arcing wire = a potential fire.I would not be surprised if he gets a ton of offers to buy the place now.A little more curb appeal and it would be a very "cute home".Just my 2 cents. 

I simply did not like to have to pack a bag and it was much nicer to have cloth's there which in winter was much heavier than Napa valley..

I cut out rent (I've been house hacking for the past year and a half), most non-core expenses (bars, restaurants, clothes, etc), and all retirement savings contributions (401k, stock investments).

Let's say an obvious junkie applies for your $600 apartment and he has no job, no Landlord reference, a 486 credit score, six kids from five different women and two of those women are currently sitting in his 1984 Oldsmobile smoking hand-rolled cigarettes and offering services to any man that walks by.

A close friend of mine is the leader of a well-known clothing store chain as well as an owner of many shopping centers.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.
