We have properties that have machines that we own in our laundry rooms as well as properties that have machines from a vendor.It comes down to whether you have an existing contract in place (these tend to be long term - 10yrs and often inherited) , how much use/income you anticipate and whether you are willing to take on the maintenance of the machines.For in-unit machines, you can buy and rent them out to the tenants or you can partner with other vendors who will do a revenue share.Hope that helps.

It’s just a standard in real estate that simply requires the seller to remove all personal belongings, nothing more.

@Vanessa Leeper Jones Every state has different codes and laws but in the State of Indiana a landlord has no liability for loss or damage to a tenant’s personal property if the tenant’s personal property has been abandoned.Because they're unresponsive they are giving up rights for personal belongs.

 Most of the apartment bldgs belong to a llc.

I belong to several credit unions and the others are difficult to get a primary home loan for, much less an investment loan. 

It was my grandparents who both recently passed away so now belongs to their 5 children.

Then it’s easy to tow cars that don’t belong.

I can't say about Atlanta specifically, but generally you'll want to check the local municipality web site that the property resides in for any short-term regulations, as well as the HOA if the property belongs to one.  

Are you looking for these to be long term or short term rentals? 

Not sure about OH specific regulations but remember that prepaid rent belongs to the tenant.
