Hi BPer Landlord,Where do you usually buy your used coin up laundry machine?

Since I graduated from college in 2004, I have been living a life of salesman ranging from copy machines to house molding to tax resources.

You get to see progress (and pay for it), and I get to keep the machine going.

For the last 2 years, you have been dealing with the impersonal collection machine of the loan servicing department for a Fortune 500 bank.

It wasnt cheap though , machine , attachment and delivery , $1300 for the weekend .

My inspector also had a mold license and informed us those mold tests can actually be very simple and somewhat flawed as they come in with a handheld machine that senses moisture or whatever.

Then you have the storage, fuel, and maintenance of the machine.

So maybe if you're running a well oiled machine, 8 weeks is normal, which is great.

Anyways long story short I ended up getting it for $472500Here are the numbers:Master BR = saving $1200 a month in rent (+1200)BR # 2 = rented to a good friend for $1200 a monthBR # 3 = $900 a monthBR # 4 = game room to keep good friend happy (he has a full sized pump machine that takes sup most of the room, and garage access, hence his high rent).Mortgage was standard 30 year fixed but was only for $443k not the $472500, had to come up with the extra difference due to appraisal.$1666 mortgage + 300 HOA ( includes water which is major expense) + $150 other utilities I pay = $2150Property tax is cancelled out by all the tax savings from the mortgage interest basically.
