Income is about $450 a month with vend prices at $1.25 per load ($5400 per year).

Then cross reference that against electricity consumption, accounting for dryers, lights, vending machines, etc.

I started looking into this, but didn't have enough time to research it....vending machines.  

But then we enclosed the porch for another room & then rented the barn to a food vending machine supplier, (& then we had rats).I miss those days.

I could also use the money I have now to start a small business like a vending mashing route or start a small business back home in west Africa.

@Eric HealyIce/water vending machines or some other self service business.

Wi-Fi,Laundry,Vending Machines(with Rah-man noodles and caffeinated drinks, condoms)4 - what's the average rent period for students?

There’s this older gentlemen that refills the vending machines at my work, after a few conversations with him I found out he owns them and actually has a vending machine business and owns a couple sfr free and clear .

I like to think of it as putting a dollar bill on a string, giving it to the vending machine, grabbing a snack, and then pulling it out (but without the stealing!)

Just vending machines?
