Rehabbed the property and equipment, added other services (wash and fold). 10hrs/week. 

Plus, only a tiny proportion of all stock market businesses are backed by real estate or equipment.

I've been listening to some folks that make a compelling case that the US is uniquely equipped to emerge healthy from the next few years.

I've got a buddy who does about $50K/year of higher-end PC gaming equipment that way.

Sometimes I look at a project and know that I need some outside help - it helps a lot when you have the equipment and know what your doing - but there is a lot to be said about learning new skills too.

As I start it would almost be a non profit business because the money would be put to buying more equipment, space, etc.

You will not pay utilities like you would with a central system, and the equipment cost is low. 

Self directed IRAs are much better equipped for total purchase of durable items or equities, or in the real estate world, notes and lending the amount of the IRA for a mortgage.3.

Additional for grading, electrical, plumbing etc...The slab strength required for the ancillary equipment will dictate cost.

You need someone local or a management company that is equipped to handle the management of these properties.
