A 10 oz soda spill made on a wood or tile floor is a simple wipe up but permanent damage to carpet and pad.  

Students must live in campus approved housing for freshman and sophomore years, and junior and senior students with scholarships are also required to do so, however juniors and seniors without scholarships tell me they are anxious to live "off campus"Since apartment is one block from university, students can walk to campus, saving them parking permit fees.Additional income could be had by putting in coin laundry, soda/snack machines, and renting out storage units in basement as well as garage space.I have a friend that currently is the maintenance man for the entire university, and he is questioning students as to how much rent they are paying to live off campus currently.OPTIONS:  Rent furnished apartments to 4 students per two bedroom and two in basement unitRent furnished apartments to 4 students per two bedroom and create common area in basement for study/recreationRent all units unfurnishedOption to raise rents by including all furnishings, cable, wifi, cleaning service etc. with them simply paying rent and electric.FINANCINGtax value (not market value) 105,000Taxes $2,200 with no exemptionsProperty currently has a 30K mortgage left of a 55k loan previously taken out to "give first child his half"Owner, due to age is most interested in payments, and leaving remainder to 2nd child for "her half" Owner has expressed the following offer :30K to pay off current mortgage, and 250K to purchase an annuity that would pay $10K/year for his and his daughters lifetime.In its present state, I question whether the property is able to be financed FHA due to condition, though it is a solid building, the maintenance has been deferred.comps on property are practically non existent.MY SITUATION:I have perfect credit, and am about to flip a seasoned home with no mortgage and expect to clear approx. 70K.I am single, steady long term employment, and have no debt.I have a realtors license in inactive status, and have hands on experience with major property improvements.I am a "Dave Ramsey" girl, and debt makes me quiver...  :-)Note: Property is currently in a Life Estate Rev.

My employees can't accept monetary or gift card tips, but they can accept lunch or sodas.  

I bribe them with use of their tablets and a soda, they will sit quietly in the corner. 

As part of their package, if you have an active Chamber membership, you're able to use the working space (some tables, chairs, lounge area with projection TV, coffee and soda refreshments.

Those deemed not in proper condition to be actively fit or socially inequitable due to unjust enrichment from consuming more calories than disadvantaged, oppressed, third world applicants have access to will not be considered"I think that will work well

Have you tried warm vinegar and baking soda yet?  

So it would depend on your market: are there more people who make 120k a year who don't want to (or can't) buy a house or people who make $9/hr who can't buy a house.Another aspect is the ability to add value to an apartment complex from raising rent, adding coin-op laundry (debatable on the profitability), rental storage, soda/vending machines not to mention the natural appreciation.

If so there are Zero Down Veterans loans you can leverage if you think it is wise to do so.[6] Maybe you look into this and decide it's not for you, and you'd rather own a 7-11 and spend your time writing checks to the soda delivery company--because despite what anyone tells you--it IS work....

You can try the vinegar/baking soda fixes on the internet but only if you plan prop it open after fixing.
