My wife and I have discussed the risk associated with minimal cash flow having to subside this property when issues arise.

Considering joining the Dark Side.

That visibility is good for business, but it also brings loitering, vandalism, and other issues that come with operating in a city of 200,000 people.You can’t predict every problem, but you can prepare for the most likely ones and adjust as you learn.Here are the top five safety measures I focused on as a first-time laundromat owner:LightingLights are not just an aesthetic investment, they serve to eliminate “dark spots”, where loitering thrives.

@Rachael BeisselCheck out the "Tax Pros" button in dark blue at the top of the page.

You are collecting a cash flow stream from an investment grade tenant but the property itself for land and building is almost worthless when it goes dark if they do not renew the option periods.If the DG is NN lease the tenant will limp along repairs and then go with new developer for new building rather than exercising option and having to pay all that capex coming due.

Since then, his website has gone dark as has his Calendly to schedule Zooms (which is how I typically reached him).

Doing it by yourself with minimal assistance. 2.

From my own research, I see appreciation is strong but cash on cash return is minimal. 

They are professionally managed with audited financials and you can trade in / out of them at will with minimal transaction costs.  

As I constantly find myself updating our contracts even after an attorney review I am seeing areas where language has to be spelled out or they will fail to hold up if disputed by renters and the ability to collect after a renter goes dark is even more daunting as the legal costs to pursue damages and then collect are not worth the effort as even you get the judgement collection is a costly experience.
