In Schedule 1, two early property options are the Bungalow and the Laundromat. Both will let you ditch the Motel, but only one will make you feel slightly less like a complete amateur.

Bungalow
Price: $6,000
Loading Bays: 1
Employee Limit: 5
Location: Suburbs, near the Motel
This is your basic, starter setup. A cute little house that smells like drywall and broken dreams. It's got just enough space to cook, store, and maybe run a small crew if you don’t mind elbowing each other in the hallway.
One loading bay means your deliveries will be slow.
Five employees max. That’s maybe two productive workers and three who keep asking where the microwave is.
It’s cheap, which is nice when you’re still poor and mostly winging it.
Best for: People who are still Googling how to use a grinder.
Laundromat
Price: $10,000
Loading Bays: 1
Employee Limit: 5
Location: Downtown strip, between the Pawn Shop and Donut Shop
For a few thousand more, the Laundromat gives you the same stats—but with one major difference: vibe. This place is front-facing. Public. Bright. The kind of cover where you don’t need to hide your operation under a floorboard.
Also has one loading bay and five employee slots.
But it’s got a front entrance and a layout made for blending in.
Good if you want to feel like a real business instead of just a guy with a grow light in his attic.
The only weird part? There are no actual washing machines. Just the hum of activity and the faint smell of baked apple cleaner.
Best for: Players who want a cover story and maybe like pretending they’re in a crime show.
Which One Should You Buy?
If money is tight, get the Bungalow. It’s not flashy, but it does the job and won’t drain your early-game cash.
If you’ve got a little extra, the Laundromat feels like a small upgrade in street smarts. Same numbers, better location, easier to pretend you’re just a hardworking small business owner (with an unhealthy obsession with citrus fumes).
Final Blurb
The Bungalow is for when you’re just starting out and trying not to blow yourself up. The Laundromat is for when you’ve figured out how to make product without catching fire—and now you want to look semi-respectable while doing it.
Both work. But only one lets you say, “I run a local laundromat,” while definitely not doing that.
And hey, that’s what Schedule 1 is all about.
