I think my monitoring fee is mostly a wash. 

Run an ozone machine, then air out again.

We aren’t building a massive machine but know that we could if it fit our “why”.We really hope that this motivates or inspires you.

We give them all to our cleaner and they wash the dirty linens in between stays.

I'm guessing the pros and cons make it a wash and the potential revenue doesn't realistically change much.

Currently laundry is leased out with coin operated machines, and the current PM company is in the process of transferring all utilities except trash back to all tenants with rents sitting between 495-550 with the lower ends being raised over time.The angel investor is  looking at 75%LTV, but I’m hoping I could broker the deal to bring the price down to compensate and still take advantage of the no money down. 

Finished basements are not a good idea due to risk of flooding from a) high water table, b) poor drainage from exterior of house, c) water heater leak, d) plumbing pipes letting go. e) washing machine hoses bursting, f) basement bathrooms, g) sewage backups from the street, etc. 

Regardless of how much quartz or how many bedrooms you have, if a property is in a troubled school district or it has a crime problem, the valuation can fall below the value of repairs and the ARV may be in the cellar.On arrival to Chicago I found the ChicagoREIA.org (organizer Andrew Holmes) who now has a big machine REI machine with focus in individual areas such as Mundelein, Libertyville, Algonqin, Oakbrook, Naperville, Shamburg, downtown, and probably others.  

That's about how it comes out in the wash. 

Machines only.
