Britt, I've had coin operated washers and dryers in my rental complex for 8 years and they are very easy to cheat the mechanism with a common household item.

What is the typical minimum investment requirement?

We have grossed $300k in revenue over the first 12 months of operation, at a ~50% profit margin.

Gross rental income divided by 2 (50% op ex ratio) equals net operating income. 

Quote from @Ray Joseph: If you attend a local meetup, I'm sure you'll find investors that operate in other cities or states.And you have thousands of out-of-state investors to mingle with right here!

Regardless, you might find the copy & paste info below helpful:)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If enacted, these changes would bolster real estate valuations and enhance returns for investors.How Real Estate Outperforms Under Different ScenariosIf Interest Rates Rise (Higher Inflation):Treasuries: Medium- to long-term bonds lose value, potentially resulting in negative returns.Real Estate: Higher inflation leads to rent growth, boosting net operating income (NOI) and offsetting the impact of higher borrowing costs.If Interest Rates Fall (Cooling Economy):Treasuries: Bonds appreciate in value, improving returns.Real Estate: Lower rates drive cap rate compression, significantly increasing property valuations and returns for investors.Conclusion: Asymmetric Risk-Reward in Real EstateWhile Treasuries offer a safe haven, they also come with limited upside and potential interest rate risks for medium- to long-term maturities.

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.
