On the other side of the coin, you can provide a much-needed service, just like any other business - that is not a charity.  

On the other side of the coin, you have pharmaceuticals companies, who often have negative level of net debt (debt - cash) because if their next break through drug may not get approved and their sales will drop.

@Tim Simmons I have been on both sides of this coin and understand that reasonable minds can disagree on which strategy is most profitable over time. 

I am a landlord in Cincinnati and am putting in coin laundry.

I would not ever put in coin operated anything in any property I owned, because there will regularly be phone calls to me (or a manager) related to those items.Whenever a phone call is made to you or a manager - even if this is related to a company who is supposed to provide the service ( a soda machine company, a coin-op laundry company), this still results in a cost to you, because you are the middle-man.  

I was talking to my property management co in Santa Clara who manage 90+ properties, they said except for 1 rest have paid. 

I'm the CIO for a large co in SM and looking into LA RE investing as well.
