Well the question was if you had $100,000 what would you do with it, and my answer was too invested in these businesses. I agree that it would be very expensive to try to buy one and start it up new, but perhaps I could buy into an existing business. Another option is to use the $100,000 as a down payment on a business loan to create the laundromat business. I see your point, but I was going more for the investment rather than outright buy
