This investor makes tens of thousands a month from his âAI vending machineâ business. A business so simple a teenager could run itâand make more than most Americans do at their day job. Weâre not talking about those old vending machines in the back of bowling alleys selling Cokes for $1.50.

[ Article ] Case Study: Making $500K+ on a Small Town Self Storage Facility
Most people think you need a big city, big money, or years of experience to land a deal that changes your financial trajectory. Small town self storage keeps proving that isnât true. Even in a market of only a few thousand residents, you can work a full-time job and still build six-figure wealth if you understand how these properties perform.
This article walks through how one investor in a town of about 3,200 people bought a neglected storage-and-laundromat combo, fixed basic operations, raised rents, added units, and created more than half a million dollars in equity.
