Houseflies can lay eggs on food sitting out or even in the drain of a sink, when the maggots hatch you'll have a swarm of flies on your window. 

I'm going to be a bit of a contrarian to the above posters, but let me first qualify my post by stating that your market will determine what you should do.We frequently install en-suite laundry in our units - in fact, we have removed common coin-op laundry in most buildings of 6-units or less in favour of en-suite laundry - for the following reasons:electricity and, in most cases, hot water costs are transferred to the tenant;where water is sub-metered, water costs are transferred to the tenant;high-efficency residential laundry machines are about half the capital costs of commercial coin-operated machines;we can command $30 - $50/month in additional rent with en-suite laundry;by installing our own machines, we know they are installed property, with catch/drain pans and {going forward} leak detect shutoffs; andwith en-suite laundry vandalism of laundry machines has been non-existant ... and if a machine is damaged, we know who is responsible.We have a good rapport with a couple of local appliance suppliers and get called whenever they have "dinged and scratched" units to unload ... a small, cosmetic dent in the side of a washer - which will never be seen when it is installed in a laundry closet - can be worth a 40 - 50% discount.  

I tried to do background screening and because they told all the credit bureaus to block everything due to compromised personal information during the disaster I can't get any credit report or other screening information.

Lenders are so efficient it is on the auction block where buyers have to pay 5% hammer fee to the firm and bank to acquire a property at market price. 

I got very basic siding, window, roof, basement French drain system, electrical, pool removal, dumpster rental... pricing simply by being honest and asking about cost.

It is now listed on ZILLOW as a 3 bdrm / 2 1/2 bath - this is considered a rare find because no properties have been sold on that block in a very long time. 

While this seems like a huge advantage, typical residential construction consists of tile roofs, stucco siding, concrete block fences, metal doors and windows, slab foundations and desert landscaping (rock), which do not require much maintenance.

That way if you get a booking on one it blocks off the calendar on the other to prevent two different people on two different sites from booking same dates.

Right now, the economy at large is enjoying a time of low unemployment and increased housing values, which may make places like Auburn look better than it is, but I would guess when/if there is a downturn, the types of tenants you would get would be some of the first on the chopping block when companies look to 'cut costs'.

I'm 26 and  my husband and I want to be involved in real estate investing SO SO BAD.We just opened a moped/powersports dealership together which was very difficult and draining on our finances and credit.
