🧠 Valuation Insight: Laundromats & Self-Service Facilities-Machines Don’t Run the Numbers

 🧼 Laundromats look passive—but valuations can unravel when:

  • The owner is the only one handling coin pickups, maintenance, or cleaning
  • Revenue isn’t verified with meter logs or machine count reports
  • Addbacks include personal utilities, rent under market, or undocumented labor
  • CapEx needs are ignored (even though machines age fast)

📌 A room full of machines ≠ a cash flow-producing enterprise.
