ATM business mainly makes money from the transaction fee.

I am a smaller Main Street Type investor and have created/manufactured SFR notes as part of my fix-n-flip program for many years.

Additionally, Gilbert and Chandler have emerged as strong markets for short-term rentals, benefiting from a combination of year-round tourism, a family-friendly atmosphere, and proximity to major attractions.
