If he loans me money at a 12% rate, he would make $36,000 per deal, meaning it would take 2.5 deals for him to free up $300,000 and essentially wash away any tax bill.  

One account covers the gas for the common area heating, another the hot water for the washing machine, and honestly it rents easier when the tenant is not stressed about what the winter gas bills might be!

While not real estate, I spoke to a few friends who said they were seeing returns of 75 percent on vending machine businesses. 

I have a tenant, or former tenant, who has been putting feces in the community washing machines and on the floor and under the machines.  

I only have one rental property but, for what its worth, the tenants I've had have always been very accommodating to allow me to show the house.In fact, one tenant happened to come at the end of a showing and he raved to the applicants about what a great house and neighborhood it was. 

Building my marketing machine, daily lead generation processes, lots of tweaking etc. 

Justin is right it gets brittle I have painted vinyl if not to bad and havereplaced just the part the sun hit the most ( it seems to crack easier)I power washed before painting

I'm willing to take the risk because: 1) localized ponding is OK by me and 2) as long as the building doesn't wash away, I can install a new boiler if needed.

For plumbing, you're likely in the $200-300 per fixture range (with fixtures being faucets, water heater, exterior hose bibs, washer box, toilets, washing machine, etc).

I do that am I one little guy in Orygun  and my ROI is better.. so not sure how they can fund a big machine and make a profit.
