So what's the upside in spending extra money on a machine that quite often will cause you major headaches?

@Xi GuoI wouldn't go into it UNLESS you have an unfair advantage and a long term plan.It is possible to create a haven for honorable people, however you have to stick around long enough to earn a leadership role.This is not a flip and it's not an ATM machine.

Of course these agreements should first be reviewed by your investor friendly attorney.I am also forming my company, building a marketing machine, and will hit the street shortly. 

At that point, you just opened up 1 or more slots of Fannie Mae financing for new rentals to be bought. 

My suggestion of substituting it with the washing machine which was not included in the sale was nixed that the seller needs it and "this is just part of short sale downsides." 

I also don't give them deposit cards to avoid the whole, "The ATM machine screwed up!"

The reason I wanted to is because of the stories I heard of how much money people were losing to "cherry master" machines.

Thanks @Dan Heuschele and @Will Grabert.HVAC guy looked at my panel and I have a few empty slots so he didn't think it would be an issue.  

I know most of you will think I have gone overboard in preparation but when the time is right I want this machine to be insert property here and all the gears to be moving already.  

I rented a machine to get the water out, rented high powered fans and sprayed for mold and used a mold tester.
