Lots of details here to consider so when you say how would I draft this up - there is a lot to consider but my thoughts:Rent = 1200/month3 yr option to purchase = $240,000not sure what state you are in but propose to handle everything (maintenance, repairs, etc and if that is not legal/possible you could do a Land contract or contract for deed with a  minor risk since he has an underlying mortgage).feel free to reach out and schedule a  call. seems like you have a fascinating one. 

I've been fascinated by laundromats for some time, but there's such a wild variability in both the gross and net that it's hard to generalize.

I remember how fascinated I was with everything that had to do with REI, every askepct of it: I liked the idea of owning property, the financial concept, I love taking something run down and making it really nice again, I like working with people - maybe you feel the same way.

Now, another 50 years downstream... maybe even 30 years...the incredibly clever and fascinating waste sorting centers may get good enough that is is actually price competitive with landfills.

Thanks for these insights, fascinating!

2) I’m fascinated by this and I really would like to make more money- though i don’t want to put the cart before the horse, I have been thinking of businesses to increase my income (and get out of teaching).

I am young and fascinated with real estate and its potential.

I've always been fascinated with building wealth and generating passive income, but I can't seem settle with one thing and run with it.

I am overwhelmed with the amount of amazing support and information that can be found here.Note investing is fascinating and I have been reading every book that I can find about the subject.
