This was a proof of concept.

Quote from @Noah Laker: I'm playing with a similar concept up in Sacramento.

We made the home have a more open concept, gutted the kitchens and bathroom, and made an old house new and beautiful.

They also do private money lending, so there’s a real path for me to buy my first property soon.I recently read Set for Life by Scott Trench and want to apply his concept of saving my first $25K.

I’m evaluating a former car wash property in Metro Detroit:Just under 1 acre lot~4,000 sq ft building with multiple bays (9 ft clearance overhead doors)Zoned C4 “Multi Use Commercial”My concept is to convert it into multi-tenant flex space for auto-related businesses (detailing, tinting, wraps, light mods, etc.).I’d love to hear from anyone who has repurposed a car wash (or other single-use building) into something else.

I am very green to the whole investment property concept.

Pacaso, founded by former Zillow executive Austin Allison, is revolutionizing second-home ownership by letting you buy just a fraction (as little as one-eighth) of luxury properties in places like Aspen and Napa.The concept addresses a simple reality: most vacation homes sit empty 80-90% of the year.

I did not get a big cash reserve to start, it was more for proof of concept. 

Airbnb/Short Term Rental investors - I'm helping a client with global sourcing experience validate a business idea and wondering if this would actually move the needle for you...The concept: A done-for-you supply chain service that sources your recurring STR supplies (towels, toiletries, linens, etc.) directly from vetted factories in China, adds your custom branding, and ships everything consolidated to save you 20-30% vs. retail.So instead of multiple Amazon/Costco runs or risky Alibaba orders, you'd get:Branded amenities (your logo on shampoo bottles, towels, etc.)Bundled shipments every 30-60 daysQuality control and inspection handledBoutique guest experience at wholesale pricesExample: One operator projected $20K+ annual savings on 50+ units just by switching their towel and toiletry sourcing.The tradeoff: 30-day lead times vs. same-day pickup, and you'd need to plan inventory ahead.Honest question for operators with 10+ units: Are you spending $200-500+ per unit annually on supplies, or constantly dealing with inconsistent quality/stockouts?

The concept is the same.
