    Why do you own a car wash?

    Going on 9 years now. Got into because my hobby is investing in real estate and I always enjoyed and took pride in washing my car. It isn't my full time job though but I do love it. I see it as a hobby/investment....and have yet to find something else with better returns. I've owned raw land...

    Why are there so many self-service washes for sale in and around DFW?

    I'm in DFW and I think so many are for sale because of the crazy prices newbies are paying for them. Hell my washes are for sale for the right price.

    I feel like Im missing something

    Yeah it's possible but not very common. Typically land leases are part of a financing move to raise capital after the initial project is complete. When you refer to car washes do you mean ss or tunnels? Here in Fort Worth area there is only 1 car wash that operates on a lease all other are owned...

    2 property foreclosure deal

    Over leveraged sounds like the previous owner over paid which means the bank is going to want to try to recoup as much of that over paid price. I've seen this a few times where bankers think bc they lend on a property that's what it's worth. Do you know what the bank is asking for the washes...

    There was a wash that did this by my first wash I bought. After I reopened mine (purchased out of foreclosure) he was out of business within 6 months. My wash is newer, nicer, and better run than his was. He did $5 for 30 mins in 2 or 4 of his 8 bays total. A few of my customers told me they...

    LED 7 Randomly Counting Up

    So I have 1 bay that turns on and starts counting up. I have LED 7 timers and no credit cards...yet. so why it starts counting up is besides me. I have had it start adding credits as if someone was putting in qtrs but not randomly counting up. I pulled up to the wash and bay #1 timer was...
