Restaurants, auto mechanics, massage spas and tanning spas.

@Christi Hawkins  Much like the auto industry  do we think everyone pays the exact amount for a vehicle .. do we think someone who sits there and grinds away for 8 hours might pay a little less than someone not as familiar or as good as another in grinding the salesmen the manager who gets the hand off and the close.this is why I LOVE Tesla you buy on line price is the price for all of us.. and it takes exactly 3 to 10 minutes to buy the car.. its GENIUS.. and why its such a threat to big auto... if you have not been on the Tesla site check it out see how easy it is to buy a car.. the finance part is auto matic too just put in name rank serial number and your approved almost instantly..you do need to put 2500 down on your credit card then they configure and produce your car..

We also have all high efficiency mechanicals, so the energy usage isn't much.The reason I asked about a garden is because invariably, green-minded tenants love to garden.

This also opened up space in the mechanical room that is now one of the bedrooms in a 3 bedroom unit.

The numbers look ok but that can vary GREATLY based on the ares, the age of the building, the age of the major mechanicals, how much work will be needed once a tenant moves out to make it rent read and other misc variables.

I'm a mechanical engineer currently working full time in the utility industry.The more I read and learn, the more I'm realizing that my next move would be to invest passively to gain experience for future investments.

Auto transfer gas&electric into the owner name might have really big bills, besides you don't have to turn gas on in summer.Same with water: if you don't bill tenants for using water - make sure that the owner agrees.

My post was more along the lines of things that might not be so obvious other than 50% for expenses, and check mechanicals for serviceable age remaining.

Getting the license will first help educate you on real estate, second allow a mechanism for you to make money from real estate. 

Are you sure it wasn't auto-removed based on certain "keywords"?
