I anxiously want to break out of the rat race!

Trying to get out of the rat race!

But even with the poly coated wood, you are not bullet proof, so I would provide complimentary mats at the entries and even a couple of runners and area rugs in higher traffic areas. 

Grills frequently stain a deck which is why they sell grill mats to protect the deck.

We also have a coin operated laundry mat on 2 of the properties which brings in 100 per month, and garage parking on each building which brings in another 100 per month.

. : ) I really wanna put that extra income to work for me in the next six months to a year and establish my Rat Race Escape Route.For the next six months, extreme frugality is my lifestyle - if anyone can provide resources on this, please do!

As for laundry mats, You are on your own.
