I have 16, brand new vending machines still in the shipping material that I am trying to sell for a business partner that I work with.

I think the coin-op machines are abused less.

I'm not a savvy, experienced commercial investor, but unless the buyer expects appreciation then I don't see why you would ever buy a low cap property that is a well oiled machine.

"I wish you would have called me if you couldn't figure out the coffee machine, instead of telling Airbnb that it didn't work.

Otherwise it is a cash cow machine.

As an analogy;During my college years I worked part time as a waiter in a very busy restaurant and I remember that the owner will make new managers work at every position for at least 1 week before permanently hiring them as managers, prospective managers would need to work 1 week as dish washers, 1 week as waiters, 1 week in the cash register etc and if they succeed then they could become managers, many quit the first week after touching the hot plates that came from the dish washing machine but the ones who made it thru the training were successful and are still working as managers today.

Cause my time machine is at the shop, so what's in the rear view mirror doesn't help make any $ going forward.

@Mindy Jensen aside from our 4 kids keeping us very busy I bought a cnc machine (computerized router) and I do woodworking as a side hustle I love making things lol

Yesterday I replaced a hot water tank, the day before that I fixed a washing machine before someone was moving in.
