Why did you decide to exit out of a laundromat after holding it for a short period of time and putting in all that time and effort?  

Generally speaking when you find more owner occupied properties and less rentals you're in C+/B class.

However the owners retired and her team left when she sold the businesses.

You can add different ways to reach out to improve your conversion for owners you are hitting or you can increase the amount you are sending. 

Hi, I am the owner of DealMachine.

I've picked up several really good deals because a tenant operator ran the business into the ground to a point where the property owners just wanted or needed out. 

The private property owner is responsible for maintenance on the private property.

Business owners won't want to get tied up in litigation and if there is a good chance they will lose, it is easier to simply follow the contract.How would that work with a lower-end tenant? 

My idea is to get an apartment and make sure it’s okay with the owner to rent it out as an Airbnb.

You can get the "owners of multiple properties" list in DealMachine, and also DealMachine has pierced the corporate veil!
