Midcoast Maine Coin-Op Laundry Cost?
In two weeks, I'm installing coin op laundry in a 9-unit building in Bath, Maine. I haven't had coin ops in any buildings yet (usually hookups or nothing). How much should I charge per load to wash and to dry? Mainers, where are you located, what kind of building is it and what do you charge?
Thanks!

I think @Amy A. had it right. Check out the local laundromats to see what they are charging. You can probably charge a little more for the convenience. But @Jeremy A. has a good point. It adds a layer of complexity to your rental. You just need to decide if it is worth it. I own laundromats and I can tell you that people don't treat the machines kindly. I also have friends who have apartments with laundries and they can be a source of conflict between tenants, a magnet for non-residents to use/vandalize, and do require upkeep and maintenance. All that said, it still could be well worth it if you manage it properly. Good luck!
