The operating system is too expensive.Also keep in mind the machines do get broken into and the less amount of cash in them the better.Once you have a pattern of use you will learn to know how often to empty them if there are only a few machines.

For example, I hang my license with The Virtual Realty group which costs me about $300 a year, and they take $375 flat fee for each transaction. 

@Jill DeWit is right in that there is virtually an unlimited supply of information on the site, podcasts and courses. 

install a bunch of washing machines because you will have some laundry to do

I called it, and an answering machine picked up mentioning the owner's name and her husband's name in the outgoing message.I looked it up in the County records.

You may already know this but for virtually any investor duration of reasonable length San Diego is one of best return on REI in the nation.  

Its like a machine ,if one gear(sub) is not moving ,the machine (job) is not moving forward.

Business Plan (6/23/2016)Mission Statement:I strive to convert real estate properties that have become burdensome for current owners into blessings for new owners and tenants through various investing strategies such as wholesaling, fix-and-flipping, and buy-and-holding.Goals:Short Term (Over the Next 5 Years)Do my first wholesale dealForm an LLCGet my real estate licenseContinue building a funnel of leads that brings in 1-2 wholesale deals per monthStart building a portfolio of buy and hold propertiesPurchase our first primary residenceEstablish a team and marketing machine so that I can start confidently and efficiently operating with other strategies such as fix-and-flipping and buy-and-holding to generate more monthly deals, and faster and continuous capitalLong Term (Beyond the Next 5 Years)Build a portfolio of rental homes that are cash flowing a combined passive income of at least $6,600 monthly (33 units bringing in $200 monthly or some other dollars per door equivalent); I believe then I will have achieved financial freedom.No longer being restricted by HAVING to work full-time for someone else, I want to devote all my time and money to my family and using my God given gifts and talents to build relationships in which lives are transformed by the Gospel of Christ, and continue building passive income to fuel these endeavors until I die and the legacy is passed down to my childrenStrategy:Starting off, I plan to raise capital via wholesaling.

I tested a few "neighborhoods" in the application, and the unfortunately data can be highly misleading (Note:  How this website defines "neighborhoods" may be different than common definitions (one simple example would be how they define the borders of Fountain Square - I don't think that most real estate professionals would say that Fountain Square goes that far east).Also, if you take as an example a neighborhood like Butler-Tarkington, on the south end (38th-42nd), it can be quite rough and $50k houses can be found readily, but in the northern end of the exact same neighborhood, you can find beautiful virtual mansions with manicured lawns which can easily be $500k - $1MM.So, just to summarize, while there are some "tools" which can be helpful, this just further illustrates once again, how difficult & challenging, Indianapolis can be & how one must do their own due diligence.Best,Matthew

Also, due to the fact that I was a college athlete up until this point, I have very little earnings saved as I had virtually no time to work.
