    I used to also fix my equipment. I think it saves a little money. Most of the time it's just a small fix. I don't do the big jobs though. I ended up making a lot of friends at my laundromats as well because I spent a lot of time there. I usually just read a book when I hang out there. Thanks for being truthful about how much money it actually takes. I bought a laundromat for $500k then spent another $40k to get it going.

    Thanks! Great question . I don't personally own a dollar coin store or token store but I can see some of the benefits. It does take a while to use quarters in some of those larger machine and a dollar coin would make that much simpler. I don't think I, personally, would be as big of a fan of tokens. I don't think customers would like it very much, I wouldn't want to buy the tokens (and continue buying them to replace the "float" tokens that go missing), and it just doesn't seem to be as good of a experience for the customer in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. There's nothing inherently wrong with them.

    Awesome question! Different laundromats have been affected differently. The general picture is that laundromats have remained essential businesses and have been able to stay open pretty much throughout the whole pandemic. Many have been down 20%-40%, however. While many have bounced mostly back, the world is still volatile right now so we'll keep monitoring it for now.

I've had a desire to get into the laundromat business but my biggest barrier was not having the knowledge. I can already see that the tools and resources are going to answer a lot of my questions. One question I do have in mind is when having it financed through a lender what percentage of a down payment they typically asked for? God bless!

    Thanks Jerry! Good question. It really varies depending on the loan, your financial and credit situation, your experience, and the location. But, if I had to put a number to it, usually between 25-35% down for a traditional lender. I recently did podcast episodes with Chris Michalek (kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4WnuLqjl9mol6g.html) and Marc Stern (kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKOkxMNmZJTde9o.html) who are both lenders in the laundromat industry. They are definitely worth a listen!

It caught fire in covid time and they completely built it from scratch, it's working normally now. Before the fire accident, it was making about 9k a month and the owner said that the profit is gradually increasing, means people are again coming back to the place. Now I am unsure if a laundromat that caught fire has a different value in the world. Does this affect the business or the re-sale value? I am a real estate agent and I know for fact that burned house will have a higher value since everything has been built from scratch. But I am not sure about laundromat. I would appreciate your answer to my question.

I’m worried because some of the deals I’ve seen are to good to be true. Living in Southern California the cost to buy the business I’m looking at is 370k! That’s an awful lot of money to not be 80-90% sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the sub! Great question. Here are a couple of thoughts but I'll probably make a video about this because I think it's really important. 1. Know what you want out of your business before you buy it. How much do you want to earn? How passive do you want it? What location do you want it in? We have a free download on our Resources page that can help you think through that. 2. Don't buy it alone. Hire a consultant (not the broker you're working with) whose paycheck doesn't depend on you buying the laundromat to advise you. Experience in the industry is incredibly valuable. 3. Do great due diligence while in escrow. Download our free e-book for some info on how to do that. 4. Have the broker, consultant, and /or a lawyer structure your deal in a way that limits your risk. Hope that helps a little. I'm in Socal too and know how tough it is. If you want to jump on a phone call at some point you can schedule one free at Laundromatresource.com/coaching

    Can a COMMERCIAL lease can declared void simply by the owner of the building selling? My understanding is that that was/is true...broadly speaking...without specific provisions. Since Lmat business is very capital improvement intensive in the build-out phase...what's to prevent the new building owner from demanding a new lease knowing the LMat is at an extreme disadvantage. " You could relocate your LMat and take a loss or pay me _________" I mention this because I've seen so many successful businesses get squeezed this way on lease renewal. Most businesses fail, they leave behind all sorts of valuable improvements and the ones that survive get squeezed...hard. The bitter irony is that the very existence of the successful LMat in that location drives up the purchase price of the structure/land.

    Great question. It depends on the lease. I would specifically look for wording that requires the lease to be honored upon transfer of the property, because you’re absolutely right, it’s tough and expensive to move a laundromat. Usually prohibitively so. I always recommend consulting with a lawyer when looking over a lease you are assuming or negotiating for reasons just like this. Another potential “gotcha” is I’ve seen leases that have a clause that allow a landlord to give 90 day notice (or however long) if a new anchor tenant signs a lease in the building. You definitely want to avoid that, as well.

    Love your content Jordan! Do you happen to know of a laundromat management company in the Phoenix or Tucson, AZ area? I live in Phoenix and have an opportunity to lease a spot with fully usable infrastructure, no machines, in Tucson that is a 2 hour drive from my house at 126 mile each way. I will be retooling the whole store with new gear as there is currently no equipment but all infrastructure is in good shape with the bulkheads even usable. I wish this were in Phoenix but you can't always control where the opportunities present themselves. I am a little hesitant on this space though as it is only 1680 sq ft of which, 80 sq ft is a mechanical room, so 1600 sq ft for the machine space. Does this sound viable? It also has a small wash and fold area that can be completely locked down so it can be unattended. I am going to go card only, Laundroworks, no quarters. I have a layout designed comprised of 26 washers and 24 dryers. At some point I will be looking to include WDF services but want to get the store profitable with self serve business as the anchor. Your thoughts would be very welcome. Keep up the awesome content!!

    Hey Jordan, So glad to discover your resources today! I think it's very unlikely I'll happen to find a laundromat for sale near me so it seems long distance ownership is inevitable. 1. Do you have a video offering tips for long distance ownership? 2. I assume it's critical for long distance ownership to have someone else collecting from the machines and therefore have Wi-Fi enabled machines to collect sales data. If a laundromat that I find won't have state-of-the-art equipment, is there an add-on device for older machines that enable Wi-Fi connection and allow monitoring sales?

    Leasing vs buying the laundromat location, or equipment. I wouldn't personally lease equipment, although you certainly can and still make money. Leasing the location is just fine, although in many circumstances if you can own the property it is beneficial to do so! A good deal is any business that performs as good or better than you anticipated it would. The key to the business is buying at the right valuation so that you get the return you want.

    You may have already answered this question. My biggest concern is financing the 1st laundry mat. I am actively looking. I already formed a company and I have money saved in the business account. My job takes care of all my needs. My long term goal is to build passive real estate income. I know its not 100% passive but I plan to leverage the time of others to free up my time. I want to dedicate about 3 months to run it myself to learn it then put others in place to manage the day to day. I want to understand the numbers. I just want to get in the game like yesterday. I am ready to do this.

    You do typically need a business license. Good have to talk with the city to get details on that since they vary so widely. Insurance tends to run a lot of money. It's one of the biggest expenses. It definitely varies A LOT but you can guess around $150-$500/month. Usually a pro forma will have that expense on it for a particular laundromat so you should have a better idea of the cost going into it.

    I usually end up with less quarters than I started with, so I end up buying quarters from the bank. I never have to roll quarters or take them to the bank. If you had an excess I guess you would have to roll them at that point. I wouldn’t keep too much cash in a back room. If word gets out about that somehow it could pose a problem, depending on your area.

    Typically you're looking for solid, blue collar neighborhoods. A high population of renters tends to be a good demographic. Lots of families means lots of laundry, so that is good, too. There are, however, different markets. For example, focusing on students near a college or university, or higher end communities where you focus on drop off or pickup and delivery services.

    Great question. Front load washers are good for around 15 years, dryers can go a little longer, and to load washers last 10-12 years (sometimes less). I use equipment are as one of the primary determiners of value but will adjust the strategy depending on the age of the machines. So the question isn’t necessarily “What age of equipment am I looking for?” It’s more “What is my approach considering the age of the equipment?”
