I pay for water and they aren't coin-op machines.

Email from my plumber:We dug up the septic tank and ran the machine in the drain clean out that was installed. 

We are just finishing up the final three units, so hopefully the decision to go with 5 versus 4 units will bear fruit with future appraisals. 

I've never done a hard money loan and the machinations are still confusing to me.

But for now and the next 15 years, I will be working my current job as a techy( big data Machine Learning), so dont have much time for real estate investing and management.

This upgrades either stainless steel appliances, expanding rooms, adding extras like coin laundry machine or parking.

I don't think age was a key factor for us, but I'm grateful that we shifted our thinking and strategy while we have time to really benefit from the fruits of cash flow and long term appreciation, but I think attitude and financial savvyiness (sp?)

We knew the owner was out of state (it was an estate sale) & the place was full of junk & the old machine shop was full of old equipment.We offered cash, close in 30, no inspection & we would take it 'as is'.Several others were also cash & higher but wanted inspections & the place cleaned up.It's NNN & still returns us 28% p.a.But we do have experience regarding structural, elect, plumbing etc etc.We had the opportunity to bid on another property that was part of the estate.

Once we had it stripped down, we sprayed the floors down with Odaban (Home Depot) then aired it out a lot and ran an ozone machine for a few days.
