Over the years I have bought and sold commercial and residential properties.I have also owned many businesses:Laundry Mats - Retail Stores - Flea Markets - Convince Stores - Arcades - Rack Merchandising - Mystery Shopping Company - Auction Centers - Answering Services - Vending - And the list goes on.

Four basement units need ceramic tile; not carpet.New carpet with under pad in bedroom and spare room/closet costs $250.00 in materials.When the previous owner realized he was going to lose the building he decided to remove every single stove, fridge, laundry machines and vending machine.Currently I have 9 brand new sets of stainless steel appliances that are conveying with the property (only set used has been in my apartment).9 units have been fully demo’d, prepped and cleaned ready for a deluxe renovation.I have worked closely with the Building Inspector and he’s totally cool to deal with.

People or companies that own a bunch of vending machines and run routes.

Property has 21,000sqft of commercial space. the other upside is on amenities, pet fees, pet rents, cover parking, vending machines, pest control, amazon lockers which all equal to 3.6M now each of these are not too much.

One had one of those vending machine businesses.So I do not even have a college degree.

I was thinking of purchasing a used vending machine and running that for awhile.

You have reasonable wear (similar to your home machines), utilities are covered (less then 20% of vend price), repair/replacement factor covered, profit covered.50% Tenant Usage- All of the above with more profit.100% Tenant Usage- Gut one apartment and make it a Laundromat.

Besides laundry and vending does anyone have any suggestions?

I was / am interested in vending machines.

Thanks @j. martin for flagging me.I'm venturing in to a niche short stay venture with the goal of creating a "housing vending machine."
