Quote from @Femi Alakija: As a newbie, I plan to gain a deep understanding of real estate fundamentals, including financing, property evaluation, and market trends. 

But have you gained anything? 

Capital gain is nothing like the cities though.

SBA loans can also be used to acquire laundromats, but it can be tough for a few reasons, some of which apply to smaller size businesses in general.1) Cash nature of the business - This is changing over time as more mats are gaining card systems, but there are still mats out there that only take cash.

This allows you to invest in another property while maintaining the asset.Alternatively, a 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting in higher-yielding or diversified properties. 1031 has limitations.
