Working the machines takes a bit of practice so start in a closet, but my wife (110 lbs) can handle it.

We all have marketing costs, overhead, and personal expenses so referring notes to “earn a living” or a cash fee at closing makes good sense.It also provides the marketing machine to generate leads that can be matched with an institutional investor, a partial investor with tail-end opportunities, or your own portfolio.

I try not to be in the appliance business, just two more things to repair and have to worry with, but if I was to put in washer/dryer, I would use good, solid new machines (possible ones from the scratch and dent area) with a warranty and buy an extended warranty.  

The MLS is a powerful marketing machine.

So Ford called Steinmetz, who tinkered with the machines for a few hours and then threw the switch.

Without it, you're better off investing in fax machine stocks.As an agent whose specialty is multi-unit, perhaps @Robert Ellis has some factual data he can share but I've seen and heard enough anecdotal information related to vacancy rates that I'm going to do some research myself over the next weeks. 

Since that time I have a couple of people bird dogging in the area bringing me leads and believe I'll have one under contract soon.My goal is to build a cash flow machine that is cranking out $20k/ month in passive income. 

Perhaps I should rent a jackhammer and sledgehammer and goto town - or maybe rent one of those little jackhammer/dingo machines?

For me the biggest challenge has been keeping everything in balance so the real estate machine can fire on all cylinders.
