I would assume a greater emphasis on quality of materials and workmanship (and consequently higher rehab cost) for a rental where the investor will have to deal with the longer term implications of any corners that were cut.

I recently saw someone turn around a three-family property there by targeting tenents like teachers and nurses.. stable professionals who value quality housing.

The FF rates in my zipcode are higher than I expected and their quality is less than what I'm bringing online! 

So many hidden fee's and the quality of the construction is terrible, you'll be lucky to see a ROI.

I think it’s hard to have enough cash flow to hire a full time, quality manager who actually allows you to be completely hands off when you only own one laundromat.

If you’re serious about this aspect of real estate and you have the time/money to invest into your education, I would strongly recommend Raisemasters as a quality mastermind to join. 

Here's some basic copy & paste info that may help you make better investing decisions:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

What is quality of all the tenants on existing and potential?

My advice would be to partner with someone who has additional funds so you can buy something that is of quality. $8k won't get you anything in a class B or A market with 20% down or even 10% down. keep going though!

I cannot speak to the quality of the coaches but the sales staff seamed well trained.
