You can find some terrific tenants in the healthcare industry, as well as respectable "working class" professionals. 

Just recently went to the REIA meeting last Tuesday where individuals from across the industry gather. 

I just wasn't sure if it actually happened at all in the industry, thanks!

But they don't start with hiring software engineers, they start with hiring mortgage industry veterans.

Industrial is another alternative.Off market listings/transactions are very common.

On the flip side, if you're honest with me and can demonstrate that you have some knowledge in the industry (or at least have a good attitude about learning) I would be more inclined to help you out and make it work out for both of us.

Sometimes a tenant will want 3 years fixed but not as desirable to the landlord unless the landlord knows they are tearing the building down or eventually replacing a mom and pop tenant with a national one.You might want to take your existing lease and any amendments and have them reviewed by a local to the property  commercial real estate attorney familiar with that asset type (industrial, retail, etc.) and give an opinion.

If its bringing in $3K per month, that will yield $36K per year...The industry rule of thumb for expenses is 33% but that might be low given that the property is so small.

Before you plan on in-sourcing dry cleaning; make sure you are well aware of the rules and regulations pertaining to that industry.

@Hannah Costello If you would like to qualify for a loan by the end of the year I would suggest that you find a job in the same industry, and you should be able to count that W2 income right away.
