No doubt even more monies have flowed into LA and other U.S.A. metropolitans, but they have been able to absorb the demand better than Vancouver (here's where the geographical constraints loom large).I still contend that you cannot sustain a local economy when the folks who are the cogs in that machine cannot afford to live in relative proximity to their work.    

Im just plugging into the machine and trying to rub a few nickles together.

Of course if you are serious about business you should get a fax machine or better a fax online service.

These programs are a cash making machine for them, allows them to sell properties above market rate to the attendees and sell their hard money lending program (which is very expensive compared to others).

I put a gumball machine in a house to stage it...  

When I have an odor problem, in addition to trying to treat the floors and walls like a lot of people have suggested, I also rent an ozone machine to run in the property for a day.

For units with dishwashers, I provide a small bucket of dishwasher detergent pods with a warning not to use regular dish soap in the machines.

Phillip:Thankfully, the garburator/garbage disposal is predominately a US affection.Dollars and cents aside, there are many other reasons not to use them:1) they increase the amount of organics that reach the sewage treatment plant which, in turn, increases the plants consumption of oxygen ... which, often results in more active bacterial matter being flushed/released from the system into waterways;2) increase the amount of solid residue which needs to be removed from the treatment plant and disposed (usually in landfills);3) they have been linked with the increase in toxicity of the water supply (this is not a fault of the machine itself, but rather the user); 4) they also tend to increase per-household water consumption.Under sink garbage disposals are no longer permitted in many locations.As a landlord with student rentals, they are simply an invitation for more service calls and higher repair costs.

Not unless the machines are able to produce more land.

Does anyone have a vending machine in their apartment building?
