Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In today's episode, host Jordan Berry pits two powerhouse investment options against each other in the "Ultimate Asset Battle: Laundromats vs. Small Multifamily." Are duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes truly the perfect entry into real estate, or does owning a laundromat deliver unmatched financial freedom and cash flow? Jordan breaks down the numbers with real-world, average deals—not the outliers—comparing nine major categories like cash flow, tax advantages, scalability, passivity, and more.

Whether you're dreaming of financial independence, eager to quit your nine-to-five, or simply weighing your next $100K investment, this episode offers clear insights and honest rankings. Will small multifamily come out on top, or does the humble laundromat surprise with its recession resistance and steady returns? Tune in to find out which asset class takes the crown—and how to choose the one that actually fits your goals and lifestyle. Let's dive into the ultimate showdown!

Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In this episode—Show 222—host Jordan Berry welcomes back the one and only Brian Riseland, known in the industry as the "laundry genius." Brian, who made waves during his last appearance, joins us for another deep dive into the business, sharing practical wisdom, data-driven strategies, and tech insights that are sure to help laundry owners level up.

Brian pulls back the curtain on his journey from a 25-year technology career into the laundromat world, revealing how he built his business with scalability in mind—even before expanding to multiple locations. You'll hear how he’s empowered his team, retained key employees, and designed systems that allow his laundromat to run efficiently, giving him the freedom to focus on profitability and growth rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day operations.

Whether you’re dreaming of remote ownership, striving for better margins, or just looking for actionable tips you can implement right away, this episode has something for everyone.
