Everyone's looking for the "right" business to start. Let me save you months of research.

Pressure washing checks every box:

• $700-$1,200 to start (cheaper than most "passive income" courses)

• $150-$500 per job, working alone

• No degree, no certification, no experience required in most states

• First customer within 48 hours if you follow the right steps

Here's the part nobody talks about: spring is when homeowners start looking at their dirty driveways and siding and thinking "I need to fix that." Right now is literally the best time to start.

The math is simple. Do 2-3 driveways a week at $150-$250 each and you're clearing $1,500-$3,000/month working part-time. Add house washes at $300-$450 and you're scaling fast.

Equipment you actually need:

• 4 GPM pressure washer (buy used on FB Marketplace)

• Surface cleaner attachment

• 200ft of hose

• Basic chemicals (sodium hypochlorite + surfactant)

Get your first customers from Nextdoor, Facebook Marketplace, and door hangers. No website needed. No ads needed. Just show up, do good work, and ask for Google reviews.

I put the full breakdown — equipment list, exact pricing for every job type, word-for-word scripts for landing customers, and a week-by-week plan — into a starter kit. It's everything I wish someone handed me on day one.
