Both build machines that compound.

Another “ENGINEER” held up the closing of a building that housed a laundromat because the Baby Ruth candy bars in a candy dispensing machine were stale.  

Having a background in Real Estate, Sales/Training in Construction Technolgy like GPS Survey/Layout and Machine Control/CAD Model Building, along with owning a Civil 3D Dirt Construction Company, I was very excited about the opportunities presented by Cody at Vestbright.

Mainly, like you said, it’s just to keep feeding the machine and rolling into the next builds.I’d love to connect and hear more about what you’re doing.

., a system for raising capital), which is the machine that actually replaces your income.The "sweet spot" isn't a unit count; it's the smallest deal that proves your capital-raising system works.

heheI miss the Midwest's "simple" mentality of my common folks.Even tho, as you mentioned the weather can get brutal.It's always a tough gig to do deals from afar unless buying turnkey.Even then, turnkey is not worth it unless the portfolio is big.As soon as you can, move to the market you want to invest in and with time you might become "institutionalized" to it just like I did with Toledo hahaI put Ohio Cashflow on the back burner 3 years ago as I got burnt out on working with investors lolWe only sell from time to time to our existing book of business and if I like the specific investor hahaI list most deals on the MLS and once sold, I clean my hands.No need to babysit the never satisfied and disgruntled landlords expecting retirement from 1 turnkey property...Unfortunately, it is what it is and I ate $#@% for many years before I said enough is enough heheOz Realty has been the bread and butter for us and our main focus since we shifted focus.Crazy that I'm even typing this as I hated PM for many years and considered it just as the "necessary evil" in order to offer a turnkey product.Now, if I could turn back time, I'd never do turnkey and would only do PM hehe.Everything happens for a reason mate.Granted, it took 7+ years to create a lean and efficient PM machine heheI'm in Toledo every month for 7-10 days so feel free to hit me up whenever you are in town.All the best mate 🙏 @Engelo Rumora , haha, a new book would be valid for sure, as things do change fast in this world, looking forward to it. 

Running an Airbnb or short-term rental can be an incredible cash flow machine — but it can also turn into a tax nightmare if you don’t know the rules.Here’s the good news: the IRS treats short-term rentals differently from traditional long-term rentals — and if you structure things right, you can unlock powerful deductions, reduce taxable income, and keep way more of your profit.So, let’s talk about the Airbnb tax secrets every host should know in 2025.1.

In my personal home I have to buy used machines because I have maybe 26" of depth to work with, and there are very few new machines that are suitable. 

Is there an opportunity to negotiate Asking price, or from a seller's standpoint -- it is a cash generating machine and he is not incentivized to sell lower?

I’d rather replace a $500 machine every few years than deal with leaks or bad installs from tenants trying to hook up their own.Plus, you can usually bump rent by $50–$75/month with in-unit laundry, which pays it off pretty quick.
