Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource podcast! In today’s eye-opening episode, host Jordan Berry pulls back the curtain on the realities of buying a laundromat—sharing the “dirty truth” that most brokers and sellers won’t tell you. Drawing on his personal experience (including losing money on his first deal!) and valuable insights from over a thousand consulting calls, Jordan reveals why most sellers are walking away, what “runs itself” really means, and why that spreadsheet you get might be more fiction than fact. He’ll explain how laundromats can be passive income… eventually—but why you’re often buying a job before a business, and the real skills and community you need to thrive in this industry. If you’re thinking about investing in a laundromat, tune in for candid advice, hard-won lessons, and resources to help you start strong and avoid the most common pitfalls.

In this episode; Jordan discuss:

00:00 Reality Check: Uncovering Business Sale Myths
