    Great video Tyler, good content lately. I own a co-working space that I renovated, we don't have any private offices and it was a big mistake. Hard to operate when renting by the desk.
    This model is great, a lot of people are looking for small private spaces.

      Glad you liked it, Joseph! These micro-units are such a great investment - they're in high demand, you're helping small business owners, and they can be very profitable when done correctly

    I’ve literally never seen an abandoned car wash. Car washes are fantastic businesses. Maybe it’s different where you live but where I live this would be turning some of the best possible real estate into some of the absolute worst

      car washes barely make even. if you get one big expense and you dont have reserves you go under. You need 15+ self serve carwashes to fire 1 full time employee to maintain them.

    I find it confusing that he was cut up about a $7,000 plumbing bill but didn’t bat an eye when the renovation budget ballooned from $100,000-$300,000.

    • @TylerCauble

      Haha it depends on the situation. Typically, when you voluntarily make a change you’re going to be more ok with the price increase than when something is sprung on you by the government 😅

    I’m curious if anyone has done similar with motor motels, leaving some as residential with others as micro retail spaces?

    Is anyone else asking how in the world a commercial car wash is not already tied into the public water and sewer systems?

      Storage warehouse didn't have water or plumbing. The Micro suites was the car wash. We had to replace the old cast iron pipes on that side.

      ​@@christhorndike8687 pardon my dumbass-ness, This is about a 10 year pay-back on your investment (self financed) but why is cashflow 1/2 of the NOI? if you outright paid for everything shouldn't those 2 numbers be equal? Unless you're servicing a loan... just dipping my toe into this stuff. I used to think a 4-5 year profit horizon was a good goal, but I guess in this case you're already there if you sold the property for a mill. I'm assuming the risk is if these types of businesses and the demand for them went to shit - THAT is your only big risk with a time horizon like yours. The other thing is (and now I'm dreaming), it would be great if cash-flow was the same as a decent job of a 100k/yr so that you know no matter what you've got nice income coming in... what a mess this post was lol

      I guess you could illegally tie into your neighbor’s sewer lines but I wouldn’t recommend that 😂
