Should You Buy the Laundromat in Schedule 1?

Schedule 1 players can purchase new properties and buildings to expand their criminal empires and reach new customers across Hyland Point, but some purchases are more worthwhile than others. The Laundromat is the first building that Schedule 1 players can buy that serves a different purpose than the others, which can be confusing to some aspiring drug kingpins.

All real estate purchases in Schedule 1 are handled at Ray's Realty, a real estate office located on the eastern side of Hyland Point next to Bleuball's Boutique. Buying new properties is key to growth in Schedule 1, but Ray's Realty also offers several businesses for sale. The Laundromat is the first and cheapest business available at Ray's, but some players are wondering if the Laundromat's steep price tag is worth it, since it can't be used to grow drugs like the other properties Ray has listed for sale.

How to Launder Money in Schedule 1

All businesses in Schedule 1, including the Laundromat, are used to launder money. The ATMs throughout Hyland Point have a weekly deposit limit that can put a stop to players' growth plans. Businesses and money laundering are the solution to that problem. Up to $10,000 can be deposited into an ATM every week, but anything more than that has to be laundered at a business like the Laundromat.

The Laundromat can launder a maximum of $2,000 at a time. All players have to do to start the laundering process is purchase the Laundromat and head to the back room of the business. Once cash is deposited at a business, it will transfer to players' online balance after 24 in-game hours. Other businesses can launder even more money, which becomes a necessity as more expensive upgrades and materials become available.

Is the Laundromat Worth It in Schedule 1?

The Laundromat is one of the most important purchases that a player can make in Schedule 1. Without a business like the Laundromat, players are beholden to the weekly ATM deposit limit. While $10,000 per week sounds like a lot on paper, it's actually quite limiting in practice. Most of the stores in Hyland Point only accept card payments and don't take cash, so all the money made from deals and sales is worthless unless it's deposited into players' accounts.

The Laundromat can only launder $2,000 at a time, but it's easy to stop by the business every day to collect earnings, especially if players have a fast skateboard or vehicle. It's basically a passive revenue stream that doesn't take much maintenance. Once players save up enough money, they can purchase more expensive businesses to launder even more money. The Laundromat is an essential stepping stone on the path to those businesses, though, so all new Schedule 1 players should set aside some savings to buy it.
