He Gets These Free. Makes $1,000 With Each.
Chris Koerner talks with Kyler, a 24-year-old who picks up free discarded washers and dryers, repairs them for $20-50, and makes over $10,000 a month renting and flipping them.
The gist
-
Free appliances left on curbs or listed on sites like TakeMyAppliance are the only inventory you need to start.
-
A multimeter and a cheap Amazon parts kit can fix about 80% of dryer problems, with YouTube tutorials filling the skills gap.
-
Renting a unit for $45 a month earns around $1,080 over two years, while flipping gives quick cash of $150-175 per unit.
-
Kyler uses ChatGPT to clean up photos of dirty appliances before listing, making them look better without reshooting.
