This ages me, in maybe a backwards way, my first car was a 1986 Buick Somerset (which is considered a classic now), 3.0 v6, and the first and last car that I jumped on a residential hill getting all four tires off the ground for what seemed like forever...and then landed not as softly as one thinks when he is 16.

For many people there is a lot of “soft value” in going solar as well and the return is not that important just like anything people buy because they want to, and the fact that it actually pays for itself is an added bonus.

The advantage of your degrees and mindset is that you'll always be finding a soft spot to land. 

where I would do grocery shopping,  twice a week cleaning, restocking of towels and toiletry etc and maybe laundry (I don’t know about the laundry part yet..maybe too invasive).

What are the negatives versus the positives that you have with your property.If the market is soft you can't be as demanding on lease terms UNLESS you have one of the best spots in town.

Condos are very soft right now.

Some even put a soft water faucet for car washing too. 

@Felipe Ocampo Depends on what you are using for your soft costs figures. 

@Chris Vee so my $175 SQ FT does not include soft cost.

Sheets and towels order new on amazon but if your client base is someone like a student population don't provide softgoods, they will disappear.
