Post: Coin opearted washer/dryers

Installing a laundry room in my 6 unit. I explored coin operated units and stumbled across a company that has a product that converts any regular washer or dryer into a coin operated unit. I like the idea because I hear the coin operated can break down and are also expensive to purchase. This unit could be connected to any washer/dryer and only cost $300. Has anyone used them or have heard of such a thing?

Thank you! 

Alex

I saw on Youtube a couple with a 4 unit that collect aan average of $50-100 a month. Seems like a good way to cover the water costs and increase overall rent with on sight laundry.

Quote from @Scott Trench:

What's the purchase price and price per unit? 

Here in Denver, I can generate $1700 in cash flow for a duplex, per month (the CoC ROI is lower, of course). But a high CoC ROI may be misleading if it means that you have to deal with 5X as many tenants who may be less qualified than opportunities elsewhere.

I'm not saying this is a bad deal - it's probably actually pretty good, if you've analyzed a bunch. Just know that in a few years, you might be a little frustrated at the relatively small cash flow compared to the large number of units/tenants, even if it produces a pretty good return. 

Hi Scott,

The purchase price is $460,000. And it is 10 bed/ 10 bath. So yes 10 tenants!! . I live in Boulder and know the markets in this area and Denver are strong but think I would have to spend well over 460,000 to cash flow $1700. here is the BP rental analysis

Thanks for the reply and I do agree it could be a headache

Thank you Bjorn,

I am using my own judgments to come up with the expenses numbers (other than the sellers stated rents) A Estoppel Cert is a great idea I would not have thought of!. I know the area well, and toured it with a property manager. I think I could get the numbers above 1700. I appreciate your input and will keep you posted if I move on it!

Looking for a fresh set of eyes to look at a rental analysis for a 10 unit efficiency apartment building in Pueblo, CO. 

COC ROI: 21.8%

CAP RATE: 11.3%

GRM: 61%

I used conservative estimates: 5% capital expenditures, maintenance and vacancy. (In my experience these will be less for the area.) and 7.5% interest rate and am still showing a healthy cash flow of $1,700 a month. 

 Is this too good to be true? I am also always looking for investor partners on deals as well.  

Thank you!
