You didn't really want the coin operated vending machines in the lobby of the small hotel, but you will give them up to make it work.

The list is endless if it adds enough value that the residents want to pay for it to boost your ancillary income, or boosts your NOI in any way you add value.Just a few:- Laundry Coin laundryDetergent/laundry essentials in vending machine in common area laundry rooms. 

Other ways to increase value would be to find places to cut or lower expenses (laying off bad maintenance or property management or renegotiating cable or landscaping services lower or even taking water or other expenses and making the tenant pay for them if that's common in your area) and finding ways to add income besides raising rent (putting in vending machines or coin laundry, storage units or parking spots).

I will manage myself, but the property can be professionally managed (10% gross rents) and still get $100/door.Here is the proforma: Number of Units 2 Average Monthly Rent per Unit Total Rental Income 1,300.00 % Vacancy and Credit Losses 8.00% Total Vacancy Loss 104.00 Other Monthly Income (laundry, vending, parking, etc.)

The venue has coffee machines on site and there are plenty of vending machines around the MacEwan Student Center.RSVP for this event here: U.S.

Inexperienced FTHB prioritize rate and ignore everything else, they think lenders are vending machines where you push a button and get a rate.

Start with your potential rental income for the year + any additional income (fees, vending machines..etc)  For residential units, always account for tenant vacancy.

Does anyone have a vending machine in their apartment building?

Additional value adds will be by rehabbing the laundry room, offering vending machines for supplies and snacks, and trading an onsite management office to the property management company in exchange for a reduced management fee.

Investing in vending machines, is this a good source of income?
