We have a water pump for a pair washing machines and a dehumidifier in the basement.

It's a 5-unit that we bought 6 months ago for $299,000, put $50,000 into it (new floors, countertops, painted cabinets, new hardware, painted exterior, bought coin-op laundry machines), increased the rents dramatically, added pets fees, and now we plan to pull all of our money back out so we can rinse and repeat.   

Then what you're talking about is extremely, extremely expensive teardowns, with the so-called "missing middle" being put there to maximize the economic return, which means that you will have extremely expensive rent/buy condos/townhomes/2-3-4-plexs.California suffers from the perfect storm of stupid policies, bad street planning (that's actually getting worse), some real actual natural constraints to building, and receiving a massive local inflation hit from not only the Fed's money printing machine but also from overseas investors who also have monopoly money looking either a place to dump some cash or somewhere to have an anchor baby.

Get in front of your competition while you can—and build a multigenerational income machine!

I have hook ups and advertise them but offer no machines.

They were great cash machines.

Hey that’s the special cookie recipe you need to make, and then your golden, I have similar issues, prices now are like a slot machine or like an auction, they are all complaining about supply and demand, I wonder if my contractors hire Chinese people and these people are stuck on a boat in Cali because all of the truck drivers are on strike?????

When I finally got a hold of the company operating the laundry machines (after a few months of them coming by just to get the money and paying zero to us or the old owners), they sent me the a copy of the contract which (oh what a surprise) is an extremely predatory one.

I started out using deal machine but I have found that I like Batch much more than deal machine.

Bust out the ozone machine and oil based primer.
