"these fees are incurred because we have our equipment in your laundry room."  

Apparently, they used to house to grow cannabis, they left piles of dirt, tons of pots and grow equipment, and basically clogged all the tubs and sink drains. 

New laundry hookup and equipment is at the tenant's expense and risk"

I witnessed a transfer of ownership after a death in the family to a family member that did not want it and was not equipped to manage, but rented it out after a small rehab. 

I mean who would want to move all that equipment anyways? 

@Art Maydan 1). from an insurance perspective, you could be held liable if a tenant is harmed because of non working life safety equipment.  

It is a big investment, but you will have improved the property greatly, and enhanced it's value.And, ask him to do a cooling and heating load calculation to determine what size equipment you need. 

We had a fabrication company for sale (when I was a broker) that contained lots of equipment and valuable real estate.

Unfortunately you selected tenants so stupid and I’ll equipped to deal with life that they can’t even use a older four button dishwasher correctly .

The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the current bonus depreciation rate at 60%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $100K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.
