How much income from coin operated laundry machines

Hey BP Community.  Looking for some input.  I have 16 units on one block in a downtown market.  None of my units have washer or dryers so they all go to laundromats close by.  I am wondering what I could expect to bring in monthly on coin op machines.  One of the units has a small commercial in the front that just got vacated and I can use that space to put easily 5 washers and 5 dryers.  I am hoping people will share following info below.  I am looking also to purchase the machines and not go with a lease and split option.  How many machines do you think are adequate for 16 units?

Number of Units

Number of Washers and Dryers

Estimated Income per month 

Thanks BP Community

@Anish Patel 

For a 23 unit multi-family of mine, it's roughly $200-$250.

My cost for the water (high sewer rate) & electric is around $50, so my net is roughly $150-$200.

It's a great amenity for tenants, I charge $1.75 per wash & $1.75 for dryer, I own the machines.

I did have a recent incident where someone accessed the coin box and removed all the money! My fellow BP's and I came up with a great solution to keep my money safe! If your interested to see, let me know.

I also recommend getting the machines with the Credit Card as opposed to Coins. OR the get the processor that accepts the laundry cards...

I purchased my commercial washer and dryer for approximately $800 a piece.

A lot of people ask if my building facilitate a laundry room on site.
