Originally posted by @Catherine Coy:David Doyle, I've been looking for two shower heads that fit nearly flush to the wall so as to eliminate the "car wash" effect I've got going on now.  

Tenants and neighbors can use these to wash their cars.

There is already a sump pit but I'm wondering about what kind of pump and the durability of a pump that might have to pump water 12 feet up and 5 feet across for 3 or 4 washing machines at the same time.  

With no hiding spaces.Code type locks so only renters can get in.etc..Also coin free payment system will remove the temptation for local junkies to try to pry open the coin boxes.And a monitored camera system may cut down on locals trying to use it for a Marijuana smoking den.https://stealthmonitoring.com/security-blog/tips-for-securing-your-multifamily-residential-laundry-roomAlso know that washing machines cannot be in below freezing temps, so you will need some sort of climate control as it snows in Los Angeles.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

It would give them the opportunity to brain wash you, whip you up into an irrational frenzy and get you to spend money you never intend to spend.

At any point in the future would I consider refi to pull out the FHA loan and PMI or does generally the increase in interest make it a wash?

Was he betting on LA appreciation or was it already there? 

The condos in FL have the added benefits of amenities that the SFRs don't have, and that tenants want in that area - pools, tennis courts, fitness centers, jogging trails, bike paths, car wash areas, outdoor BBQ's, water views.

Bought a triplex in 2015 for $800k (Wash Park, Denver).

Wash, rinse, repeat.
