How do I price the laundry situation before I buy

I'm looking at a 4 bed in Riverside County, washer and dryer hookups in the garage, no machine. Do I buy the machines, charge per load somehow, or just bake a flat $40 a month per room into the rent and forget it.

The flat $40 works out cleaner in my experience. Trying to meter individual loads in a shared house creates constant friction and people just start lying about it. $40 times four rooms is $160 a month, and a decent used washer/dryer set off Facebook Marketplace runs maybe $350 to $500 in the IE, so you're breaking even on the machines in three months and everything after that is gravy.
