We took a completely run-down commercial building and turned it into a fully remodeled laundromat from the ground up. After 8 months, over $1.25M invested, and multiple delays with the city… we’re finally ready to open.

But now comes the real question: Do we keep it and potentially make $10K/month… or sell it for a $1M profit?

In this podcast, we break down:
- Total project cost vs potential sale price
- Real laundromat income projections (conservative vs aggressive)
- Why “passive income” might not be so passive
- The real workload behind owning a laundromat
- How we’re thinking about reinvesting through a 1031 exchange

This is the reality of building a business vs flipping for profit—and the decision isn’t as obvious as you might think.
