I've always had an interests in aquiring established businesses that could be ran semi-absentee and other income producing assets such as vending machines and real estate.After doing tons of research, the Real Estate bug hit me and I fell in LOVE with the advantages and opportunity real estate had to offer.

If I remember correctly, the book went into all kinds of stuff, like buying franchises or vending machines, etc., most of which did not appeal to me.           

One was a vending machine company.

Keeping your eye out for hand written vende-se signs could be a good way in too.

As as taxpayer I'm happy to see them vend out as much as possible.

If you do it right, a website can be like a vending machine. 

Vending machines in 1 easy location versus 4 locations, etc.

I would like one day that they sell washers and dryers that has built in Apple Pay or Google Wallet capabilities, and all a tenant has to do is to wave it near the washer or dryer and press their finger onto the Touch ID and I get paid as the machine unlocks for 1 load.Or may be I know what the tenants like to drink and I set up a vending machine that pour their favorite ice cold beers from dispensers and I get paid online and the Touch ID knows if he/she is over 21. 

Vend prices: You should be aware of the market in your area regarding single load vend prices.

Just curious if anyone here with apartment buildings has installed vending machines, and, if so, what kind, and was it worth the hassle?
