I pick it up, place it in the back of the truck and ratchet strap it in place.  5 min later while driving down a straight, smooth road the oven (still strapped in) falls over and the glass bust out of the door.

Hey Marcus,I have two rental properties in New London and I am trying to sell my first flip in North Stonington.Let me know if you have any questions and I can try to help you out,Mat

Thanks Mat 

It also have a duplex on the property that could be renovated and a building for a laundry mat that is not in use.   

@Mat Deveaney - I took a look at the posting but didn't see any information on income of the units, what utilities are paid by the owner, etc.  

I surmise his flooring are getting grinding with grit from shoes and traffic...With asphalt and good matting I have some laminates holding up 5-7 years plus.

although if you can move in an out really really quick that can mitigate.when I ran my HML in PDX  the guys I saw pay the most were the smaller rehab contractors who were basically buying a job.. they figured if they could make wages plus a profit.. they would take on skinnier deals.... those deals would not work for an investor who does not strap on a tool belt.

Having people do those things can free you up to focus on what you do best and what gives you the greatest financial return per hour.If you are starting out with very little money then you generally have to look at doing things yourself and boot strapping until you can build enough capital to invest and grow your business.I will give you a case in point.

The 3 unit building I have barely gets any use out of the coin op....then again there's a laundry mat 100 yards away, so I figured I'd bring this to the forum!
