Depends on which side of the coin you are sitting on.Timing of the market is key. 3 to 4 years ago markets were frozen.

I was thinking maybe the British Beer Co in Hyannis or the new Hogs Island Brewery in Orleans. 

They  figured out how to beat the coin changer 

I have a coin opp washer and dryer in rental.

if you have laundry on site make sure its coin op , or they are doing laundry on your dime and doing it often.16 year old boiler needs updating to a new high efficiency ones you'll save at least 20%controlled thermostats for each unit so they don't just set temps to a ridiculous tempsmaybe even high efficiency water heaters also (tankless)  worth looking intoenergy assessments from your utility company (they should have a free program-they do in my state)windows and doors . a broken window  can be costly as heat will never seem to turn off but this is summer season and the heat shouldn't be on i would think my neighbor's 6 unit (fully occupied) only costs him $300/month and he provides heat/hotwateroverall i found that i saved most money from insulation my highest gas bill was $425i changed my front door , bill dropped to $375replaced my windows , bill dropped to $325insulation in attic, basement, and knee walls, bill dropped to $275i think i gotten my gas bill as as low as $200 during winter which is pretty good for a single family in my neighborhood

The good thing is that with your experience you have seen the lenders side of the coin.  

Economists estimate we are still some 5 million housing units behind the demand, even after the beginnings of construction recovery.It's going to be a tough time for move-ups and first-timers for a good while yet.The shiny side of that coin is that this means the demand for rehabs and fix-and-flips of short sales, REOs and other distressed properties continues to be strong in many areas.The education to which I'm connected is in the process of putting together a raw land development class.

If a buyer is agreeable and they have any other asset, like a car or boat or even coin collection, you can carry make another note with the borrower figuring in that payment as a debt if the ratios will be OK.

Why not just go to your local coin shop?

That's actually what I call a "Flip".Just like "Flipping" a coin, you don't need to wait 3-6 months to tell whether it's heads or tails.
