Because gentle readers, a laundry vendor is a commercial tenant.   

Buff them?

They will lend on 2, 3, or 4 unit buildings so that might be a way to start, you could live in one and rent the others out.I would like to very gently disagree with Carolina, don't get a job as a realtor.

How many multifams have you owned in this genre, which we gently refer to as "working class".  

Wayne Brooks, I really appreciate your "gentle" response!

They were happy (the hike was more gentle then they anticipated) and relieved (they would not be compelled to move).

Gentle persuasion, with a fast plan to ratchet it up if nice doesn't work.

Thank you gentle man Matt Devincenzo, Leng Thao, Jack Bobeck, for the helpful responses i will continue my search trying to find the seller in the mean time ill keep in eye on the property as its statues clears up.

Any water heater has an infinite lifespan IF IF IF -The tank lining was installed properly at the factory.The factory workers handled it gently enough to avoid cracking it.The plumbing supply guys handled it at least as well.The plumber handled and installed it even more gently.It landed, fully intact, at the end user's address.And which then was properly maintained afterwards.Until very recently I owned a house which had a gas water heater which had been installed in 1958.
