My main purpose is to create a deal machine for my own personal investments.

This value add strategy can be an enormous wealth-building machine but the value add part can be very different on different deals.

Past that there is no door to the basement itself just the stairwell that the tenant has access too.I thought about approaching the tenant with an offer of so much money per month just to use the machines but then I also thought of what to do if they deny that offer and then I'm still worried about unapproved usage.Any thoughts ideas or insights on anything mentioned is more than welcome!

While you are doing this, you must continue to look for deals to feed the machine.  

Keep feeding your rental machine!

@Milind Shastri, I'm a local investor friendly Realtor® here in Dallas.

Washing machine went out in that same house.

But acquiring accurate information seems to involve much more than just running a listing through your excel machine. 

Your flips become your own personal "cash machine". 

Here is a list of what I am wanting thus far in a boat- a nice teak interior that doesn't need sanded or varnished- enough sleeping space for 6, and there are plenty of boats for that- cockpit area that offers plenty of seating- a diesel engine that looks like it is in great shape- a good generator, hefty water maker, a washing machine, a water rinse at bow and stern, a place for diving gear, well I could go on- enough seating inside where everyone can eat without touching elbows too much- this will be a live in boat so it needs to be somewhat comfy- I really like the teak work on say the Hans Christian boats, here is a nice 52 for sale for $245,000.00 which is in my dream budget.
