How To Make Extra Income From On-Site Laundry - Even With Just One Unit
How To Make Extra Income From On-Site Laundry - Even With Just One Unit
Laundry machines are more than just a convenience. Here's how to turn them into a profitable side income in your rental.
Your Laundry Setup Can Pay You Monthly
If you’ve got a basement, garage, or even just a laundry closet — you’ve got a potential income stream. Tenants are happy to pay for the convenience, and with a little setup, you can start profiting fast. Here’s how:
1. Install a Coin or App-Based Washer/Dryer
You can purchase compact machines that accept coins, cards, or even phone payments. In small buildings, this alone can generate $40–$150/month per machine.
2. Offer Laundry Service as an Upgrade
Partner with a local service to offer pick-up/drop-off laundry for an upcharge. Market it to busy professionals or families who’ll gladly pay for time-saving services.
3. Add It to Rent for a Fixed Monthly Rate
If you don’t want to manage payments per load, build laundry access into rent as a $25–$50/month premium. Easy to track, and tenants love the flat-rate setup.
