An ATM fund is a fund that purchases ATMs (Automated Teller Machines) and places them in large retail facilities across the country from preexisting contracts. 

I'd put in an orchard with different types of fruit trees, possibly a pool, and one of those large chess boards like what is at Santa Monica Beach, where the board is on the ground, and the chess pieces range anywhere from knee high for a pawn, to chest high for the major pieces.I welcome any advice as I've just started my due diligence period.  

If you aren't part of the social media arm of the local REIA that would be the lowest hanging fruit.

There are many ways to find deals.Some are better than others, and some are simply the best, yet there are some advantages and drawbacks to all.A lot of thought goes into strategic lead generation and this is where there is a huge continuous debate going on which lead generation method is the best.You can focus your effort into just blindly getting leads where you continuously have to do the work and/or pay money to stay in business, or you can focus on doing the legwork now and set up your automated lead generating machine so you continuously and automatically get leads whether you do the work  or not.Most investors do not have the patience or foresight to realize  that lead generation is something that takes finesse, technology, systems and opt for  always grinding  as long as they see something happening (which is not the same as "seeing results".That said,  your question  should not be  "what are some ways to get deals".Your question is how do I set up a lead generation system that will provide me with continuous deals and make money from these deals.You cna do door knocking to find deals, you coul dput up bandit signs to find deals right?

As others have mentioned, I would get into a skilled trade that requires a license that cannot be offshored or done by a machine (plumber, electrician etc).This would set you up for good W2 income, you won’t go into debt, it will expose you to renovations, and you can house hack while you’re young and single.

In a single family tenants can bring/buy/rent their own machines, in multi family it’s a big deal to have a laundry machine in the unit.  

It looks like there is some low hanging fruit in the summer months and opportunities to build business in the winter for someone who is a go-getter and wants to break into some niche markets that come to the area for winter sports.

You can rent or buy an ozone machine.   

I've seen lots of people add laundry machines to ancillary income for their properties, but what other opportunities have you explored?
