I was looking for a side gig next to the real estate investing and been looking in to the vending machine business.

If you build a solid functioning machine then expect to succeed.

I have plans on setting up a wholesaling system afterwards with a lead generating machine.

Your signatures are recorded at the branch using on line machines etc.

He (Robert Lawry) had the best content but not the marketing machine needed to survive. 

Thinking like a human is always good, but sometimes a business has to run like a machine.

One method involves getting ATM cards to tenants so they could make deposits for you at a local ATM machine. 

I'm also thinking rather than have multiple tenants fight over garage parking, put in a coin operated pool table and maybe even a few vending machines and turn it into a day room type common area...

With some love and care the property could be rented out and has the potential to be a cash machine.

The only manual parts would then be seal with sticker and stamp it, so I just pay a college student 10 per hour to do it for me while I operate software and machines, so worth it.
