In all of my units I include a private workspace that's in a room with a door that closes (important for video calls), a comfy desk chair, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and hdmi cables.

Why would you pay 10% gross to a management company, that is $260/mo, use zillow, they have the tenant screening and 80% of the leads come from zillow any ways.3.

Have been looking into Commercial Retail shops, laundry mats, etc. but I am a bit unsure how much I could "purchase" with my current cashflow/down payment.

@Mat FisherMost programs are very expensive which is why it’s easier to pay a servicer $25-$35/month th manage that process and they will also do all the tax forms and handle escrow

I'm thinking about buying a laundry mat, but have no idea where to start. 

I think you should maximize the guests and maybe offer a small weight set and yoga mat. 

I am Mike Mattingly and together with my wife Sharon, are looking at beginning the adventure of real estate investing.

I would push hard on HOA on what they are doing to treat it When one of my condos had a mouse problem they also went into every unit to treat and charged each homeowner which we were fine with because they also could see if there was a specific homeowner who was the cause and then after treatment go back after them for future incidents

Our craft was to sew this little stuffed mouse.

@Mat O'Grady I have used them and they are just like a regular comfortable bed.
