A Coin-op machine is supposed to compensate the Landlord for utility use, cost of the machines, and hopefully provide a little profit.

Get the property where you want it and get your own Tennant's in and turn it into a tight little money making machine.

I found it interesting that people are protesting being paid less than $15/hour to work at McDonald's and McDonald's installs machines to take orders instead of giving raises.  

Find a licensed contracter that will work for $40-50 an hour if you provide materials.Well , a  " Handyman " usually doesnt own a gutter machine  since they are about a $ 20,000 dollar piece of equipment .  

There are many ways to secure that foundation education, so do your OWN Due Diligence (take opinions with a grain of salt and research on your own before investing into anything) and choose the platform or product that you are happy with and fits the way you like to learn (i.e. reading, watching, listening or a combination of the 3).Form yourself a Team (Mentor(s), Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Brokers, Contractors, Home Inspectors, Appraisers, Title Companies, Attorneys, CPA/Accountants, etc.) to support and guide you as you learn.By the time you are ready to make the transition, you should be good to go...and if not, no worries..just keep the machine rolling until you are.Again, Thank You for your service to our Country and best of luck to you in your ventures!

Once the mortgages are paid off each property is a nice little cash generation machine.

Finally I used gallons of paint stripper, poured that on let it sit for a bit and it actually lifted the cat pee right up into a yellow foam.. and that actually took it off the cement floor.. we after several months using various products and then odor killers... found Odor medic to work the best for us.. along with Ozone machine..Final finish to cement was we painted with a cement sealer paint.
