Revenue drivers

• Washer and dryer turns per day
• Average vend price by machine size
• Wash-and-fold or pickup/delivery attachment
• Vending, ATM, detergent, and ancillary sales
• Hours open and neighborhood density

Key risks

• Old machines can create a near-term capex bomb
• Short lease term can destroy acquisition value
• Utility costs can quietly compress margins
• Turns/day claims are easy to exaggerate without machine-level proof

What you need to believe

The location has durable renter/student/urban demand.
Machine replacement needs are reflected in the purchase price.
Lease control is long enough to recover the acquisition premium.
Reported cash sales are verifiable enough to underwrite.
