I am currently earning steady W2 income through my engineering career and try to live below my means while still enjoying life.  

With a free day on my calendar I decided to take on some of the smaller jobs and (based on their prices) see how much my time is worth:I worked from 8:30 - 2:30 (6 hours including lunch)install ceiling fan: $80install range hood: $95 (much easier/faster than the ceiling fan).install 4 mini blinds: $100It comes out to just over $45/hour, at a steady but relaxed pace, with a handful of stimulating podcasts throughout....

I have 4 years of professional house cleaning, i work on my own i have my own supplies vacuum and mop steamer.

real estate has supply limitations for buy and hold and flipping....whereas the stock market you can leverage your capital 4 to 1. and scale ..as I mentioned before I like real estate but as an investor I see alot more competition and properties going higher and reducing cash flow

More specifically, the supply index within a 5 mile radius of the facility - is it undersupplied, oversupplied, or at equilibrium, the quality of the competition, is it growing, stable, declining, Median Income, etc. 3.  

While it's always about supply and demand, it's also about the prospects of an area.

The odds that this is a possible solution are pretty slim but it may be worth a call to whoever supplies your water. 

On paper they look like they'll be great investments with steady returns.

Was it harder to find a tenant without supplying the appliances?

I fear not wording it correctly, maybe BiggerPocket member has supplied one that I can look over.
