My wife wants a car wash and coin laundry. I am really thinking about buying her some property and building it for her. This will be with the only understanding that the only involvement I should have is maintenance.

I tried selling my body, but that went bankrupt.

I only have one rental house at this moment. I have made more than it costs me. I am looking for another one. One Tip, no renters on a septic tank or Mobile homes. Roy

There's a car wash here

that makes more $$$$$$ unmanned than my whole biz.

I moonlight as a purse snatcher. That is also how I get my work out.

I understand the concept of owning property, but I feel owning/renting residential property is a long term investment. And could potentially cause problems with tenants, ever increasing taxes, damage to property. and general upkeep expenses, not to mention the capital it takes to get going.
I am trying to find more of an absentee business like a coin operated laundry mat, or women’s fitness club like curves. Perhaps even a dunkin donuts
Anyone have any experiences to share?

Alot of Companys I've worked for over the years ( not all Hvac) have had rental propeties. Its great to keep a constant income it helps during the slow times and during big jobs ya don't get paid till the end.

Someday I hope to start getting rental properties, to gain money cause it takes money to make money.

We have several real estate investments as well. Unless you can run it full time I would suggest not getting into renting residentual. One of the worst things I ever did. Really is a PIA. There is far less were and tear on yourself and your property if you go commercial.

When I retire I will probably do some flip houses.

Back when the kids where little we had an ice business. That was a fun thing. The kids would help me deliver ice on the weekend. They helped my wife bag up the ice during the week. We made enough money one year to fly us all down to DisneyWorld. So they were happy.

I have a monkey with a tin cup and with my organ grinder we produce enough income to .... never mind....

for anyone out there who is doing some real estate, if you use an inexpensive property to build to a more expensive one, there is a tool called a 1031 tax free exchange. this can save you thousands in taxes depending on your situation. my latest saved me just under 23 g's, of course i did have to buy another property. if you need info, google 1031 exchange

The best thing going is land in areas where growth is projected. Less troubles than buildings

rental triplex, looking for another or flip house.

Rentals and I guess theyre called Flip Houses

here too. Should net an extra 60 grand this year off them. Finishing my last one now. Bought it in lousy shape for 32,000, putting 15 in it, should sell for a little over 100.

Rentals and starting something else.

I am starting to see a trend

rental property also. if you buy well, you can sit back and enjoy the profit each month. i have a cabin that nets in one weekend enough to pay all costs on itself. i use it for ski weekends all winter.

I used to have rental properties
now i am also doing "flip houses"
buy em cheap fix em up sell em high

My wife and I have commercial rental property
