Most first-time laundromat buyers tour the store, see machines running and customers folding, and convince themselves the deal is solid. Then they take over and discover utility bills 40% higher than the seller showed (because the seller used summer months only), equipment with 8 years of deferred maintenance, a lease that doesn't actually transfer without landlord consent, water heaters at end-of-life, and sewer lateral problems the city is about to bill for. Any one of these can wipe out a year of NOI.
