Money already exists, and the only one who makes it is the government with its overloaded printing machines.

@Zachary Michel I spent some time looking into laundromats and self serve car washes.

If I could reboot, I would go into Computer Science / Machine Learning / Programming / Analytics because these jobs seem to be growing, never ending, and if you can get hired, you can have a great w2, while building your rental portfolio, and also start a tech company side hustle (like cozy.co) potentially.

Pittsburgh: I am planning to purchase coin-op washing and drying machines for two of my apartment buildings.

(i.e. you didn't say gross or net)Or maybe he read your post literally, and thought he could easily create a machine that makes widgets, and when the machine makes one more widget after the 999,999th one, then he "made a million".I am sure there are more ways to look at this, but I think I've made my point.

Something you could cater to with a STR there - Locked road bike storage, bike wash, hot tub, etc...)Let me know when your next meet up is and I hope to join.  

Here is why I made the switch:I use Buildium to manage my rentals end to end and wanted everything in one place, no back and forthresidents pay online via Buildium and the rent is automatically logged in my books for exampleI wanted my business systems and processes in place now so I can just feed the machine as I groweasier for an employee to learn just Buildium vs multiple softwaresSaves moneyI am already paying for Buildium, why keep another monthly QB subscription? 

I understand that occasionally a smaller one under a sink for hand washing could be a good option but in general the gas ones are the best option.

Sorry for the late reply here;Wendy, ya I'd avoid Samsung appliances at all costs, especially their refrigerators, and their washing machines.

A 2 day wait for a washing machine or dishwasher is not a big deal.
