📍Looking to Acquire a Laundromat Near Home

[Carlos Ramirez]

Hey everyone,
I’m in the early stages of acquiring a laundromat within 30 minutes of my hometown (Santa Barbara, CA). The goal is to generate ~$150K/year in mostly passive income from the first location, with systems, staff, and tech in place for smooth, low-stress operation. Then scale from there. 

I’m building this for freedom, family, and long-term wealth — not just a quick flip.

Here’s what I’m focused on right now:

• Vetting my first deal solo (happy to split a finder’s fee for the right opportunity)

• Learning from operators who’ve been through it

• Building a simple but sharp vision deck to stay focused

• Eventually duplicating this model across cities

I’m open to smart partnerships or collaborations but only if there's alignment on values (systems, transparency, long-term mindset).
I’m also down to jam with others working on something similar — even if we just trade notes or check in monthly.

If you:

• Have owned or operated a laundromat

• Know brokers, sellers, or good deal flow

• Are local to Santa Barbara, CA

• Or just want to connect over process & strategy...

Let’s chat. Drop a comment, shoot me a DM, or connect directly. 

Looking forward to learning from this community.
