Under a washing machine 2 white tiles will not matter.Here are a couple of mock-ups, not as much counter space as Joe recommends (which is important), but a trade off for some storage and a walkway.the range and the sink are across from each other, and you might be able to save a back by leaving no cabinets over the fridge.  

The Express Carwash biz is once again a unique niche as it only requires 3 to five employees and is cash inserted into machine, credit or debit so employees don't have any personal contact with any cash.

Again, if you wonder why I would look at this data, the Slurpie machine awaits your gentle but firm touch.Just a little fact to consider: Residential Real Estate prices are based on three factors: 1 - Return on Investment, that is what will the house/condo rent for, 2 - Median income which determines affordablitity according to Fannie Mae guidlines and 3 - the prevailing interest rates.Gee, I bet you all knew that FUNDEMENTAL!

By openly sharing the mistakes that each of us have made - we can all avoid them and as a result - BP members will make more money as a community.So here we go...If you can build a time machine and you can talk to your younger self to warn YOU of that BIG real estate mistake you're about to make...what will your warning be like?
