Although, depending on the closing fees vs the taxable profit, that could potentially be a wash.

I'm hoping to also become a smarter real estate investor by gaining knowledge incrementally day by day.In business school I studied and researched the real estate market as well as the car wash industry.

Same with power washing roof/ driveways for $200 once every 2 years to keep our rental fresh.

I know it is less cash flow because of the higher expense, but is it ultimately a wash because of the write off anyway?  

This is the most expensive option and oftentimes is what turns what could be a revenue-generating venture into a wash (or less).If you decide to go with option 3 I can highly recommend Sugar Palm Vacation Rentals PM company in Destin.

So it's a minimum $920 per month I would need to make to bring my net savings at least back up to zero.... and practically speaking, 900 bucks should be easy enough to make just washing dishes.I have another business Idea that I am working on, that I want to take to Los Angeles.

Obviously, larger houses have higher utilities because there are more lights people that leave on, more loads of laundry being washed/dried, more hot showers taken, etc.With that being said, someone would need to be booked 24 nights a month just to break even. 

That won't get me any money but it'll allow me to wash my hands of you.

Leaving raw chicken in refrigerator, & they shut off the fridge... no notice,, odor reported,, had to enter and then found it.. just so you know.. you restart the fridge first and then get nose plugs.Raw chicken in washing machine... no notice odor reported.. this was bad..Crap in washing machine.

Thanks for the input Lynette. so the story I got from the guy was that he has a total of 45 properties in his portfolio right now including homes duplexes apartments and some vacant land. and he is now going into the car washing business so he wants to liquidate all of his land, mind you I reached out to him or I seen his name pop up on tax delinquent list that I was going through. and when I asked him about the properties in question, he said that he had a verbal contract with the lady as far as the little strip of land that goes through the neighbor's property to allow them access to the land / home oh, and that he was going to leverage the other property that is a little strip that is fenced-in in between two homes he was going to leverage that to the school because there's a big school behind it and it is one of the only ways to access the school because it is landlocked, so that is the story I got from him I've been unable to contact the county about the properties because of the shutdown so I was just looking for input as far as how to go from here.
