Upgrade to a commercial-style stackable setup that can dry faster (30–45 minutes), hopefully fitting in our existing laundry closet without extra electrical work.Any recommendations or specific brand/model suggestions for handling this high-volume, semi-commercial laundry?

Rather, they are four former commercial real estate brokers, with one of them also an attorney in their 60s or 70s that have a true hands-on style of mentoring.

One thing I will say there is a shortage of is properties that accept a pet (single pet, ie 1 dog)You will see a lot of manufactured housing on this corridor, but there are some older homes needing updates since the parent or grandparent had just passed (just toured a great one that sold for $219k in a week (cash) that was massive but my buyer was afraid of the work & it was easy fix and flip)As I mentioned below, I'm very curious to your style-what makes the right deal for you?

San Diego’s average house hold income is about what you stated, but the median is a surprisingly low (considering US news and world report lists it as the most expensive US city) ~$100k.  

It could be a good option if the investor strongly desires ease and passive style.

Quote from @Dustin Tucker: I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the dumb money keeps buying treasuries like they are going out of style, which continues to push the rate lower. 

We see it all the time with the conversations on what cars/vehicles folks drive :) here in BP there is a badge of honor to drive a 20 year old 250k mile car/truck :) Myself I saw my dad do some of this although he never got to the utra wealthy stage by a long shot but made good money in RE however it was not until he bought old style timeshare in Maui that he would finally take a vacation..

These markets often have strong population and job growth and strong rental demand.But the reality is that even in more affordable markets like Columbus, you'll need about $50k-60k household income just to qualify for a conventional investment property loan (this assumes good credit and reasonable debt).

A while back you ripped on my style of slow and steady long term investing in buy and hold real estate with low down payment conventional loans because it's not as fast as your style and the potential of cash on cash returns isn't as high.

ThanksBrett, we do flips and rehabs and have several lenders in the area that specialize in ARV "style" loans.
