Frequently asked questions
What is a good ROI for a laundromat?
Most buyers look for a solid double-digit cash-on-cash return, but 'good' depends on risk. A safer store with a long lease and newer equipment justifies a lower return; a riskier one should pay you more to compensate.
How is cash-on-cash return different from ROI?
Cash-on-cash return measures the annual cash flow after debt service against the actual cash you put in. ROI is a broader term that can include eventual resale gains. For a working buyer, cash-on-cash is the most practical figure, which is what this calculator leads with.
Does financing improve the return?
It can. Because you invest less of your own cash when you borrow, a smaller equity stake can produce a higher cash-on-cash return, as long as the store's cash flow comfortably covers the loan payment. Leverage also raises risk, since the payment is fixed.
