I really hope you guys learn from this video! Do you think you can buy a laundromat?

Yes

I'm a mechanic, my friend is an electrical engineer. We bought good used washers and dryers (over half worked) we fixed and upgraded the washers in one day. Same with dryers, one day. Anytime something breaks we're qualified and overly capable of fixing everything. Even plumbing and electrical. We made a LOT! Owned everything out right, no repair bills...if I had any advice, learn to fix your own equipment, you'll go from making money to being wealthy

Ever since I started following you on social media, I started to take more notice of Laundrymats in my area...where they are located, the size, how long they have been around, the type of locations - I'm sure you know areas that do well are where there are appartments buildings without laundry rooms for instance....

[@donaldlyons17]

Even with laundry rooms the rooms might be more expensive than the around the corner places IMO. If I remember correctly my place cost .25¢ or .50¢ more than the SoapandSuds.

[@vicstalr]

Yeah and usually the laundry rooms for apartment complexes have bad machines lol. The people will pay for quality.

[@donaldlyons17]

@@vicstalr Why would the y pare for quality when they can just use the cheapest laundry place around? WTF I choose where to do laundry based on price!!

[@vicstalr]

@@donaldlyons17, humans tend to prefer cleaner well kept things. An extra dollar in cost is worth a better environment. You can opt for good quality, or let it be a dump and squeeze the business for cash. Both ways work, I just prefer nicer things myself - so that's how I run things.

It’s funny how this video popped up as I was about to come into a nice sum of money. There is a laundromat down the street from me with very old machines, but for some odd reason, much of the neighborhood seems to patronize this place anyway. I was thinking maybe I should make a move on that spot, all it needs is updated machines, and a better attitude from the person who works in it

[@Bigtree5]

I enjoyed the video but it was tough to hear your voice over the background music.

[@joepeterson-s6t]

in these uncertain times, a laundromat isn’t the way to go it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

[@niccumcornish1179]

If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.

[@dorathykalms]

you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited £560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
