If you are priced same as everyone else but offer a free gym membership, free lawn care, all utilities included, and Friday back massages ("C") it will be rented in 5 minutes. 

I’ve been self-employed for over 10 years (musician, massage therapist, landscaping, admin type consulting, data entry, catering, bartending, etc.) and somehow real estate has never been on my radar… until now!!

No alcohol, gambling, massage or suntanning facilities, but everything else is fair game.

No matter how much we massage the numbers they do not lie

Might be suitable for other things like massage/physical therapy, yoga/dance, etc.

Of course if you massage those three as many an attorney has you come up with a legitimate holding period of anywhere between 2 days (dec 31 - Jan 1) and 730 days.So while longer is better there is no statutory holding period and there could always be circumstances where a hold period of shorter (or longer) would be appropriate.

Dont massage the numbers to make it work.

It takes about two months of training to be certified as a financial planner and two years to be certified as a massage therapist .

In my reading I came across the best summation of the rent control debacle ....Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck once wrote, “In many cases, rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city — except for bombing.”

Get good at networking and finding motivated sellers and you will massage grind fast in the investor space.
