Sold my 5/1 today. After seven years of dealing with the great unwashed...I've had enough.
The death knell came when two partners built an express 200 YARDS from my wash. It immediately took 25% off my bottom line and eliminated any chance at growth.
I worked hard to run a nice place and for the first few years I was seeing steady increases year over year and then they showed up.
With all the work I put into it I was hoping to see a decent return...but....sold it for land value. I don't see it as a great investment.

Just want to say thanks to all on this forum for sharing their tips and tricks.....you guys saved me several times.

Good luck to all

I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t end great for you. You never know - your land might be the site of another new express someday - and it will take 50% off their bottom line. Stranger things have happened. Good luck to you and take care.

Im sorry to hear that. The truth is life is short. Ive never heard a dying person complain about a past investment. I have heard complaints about the places they have wished they gone and the time they wished they spent with their family. I don’t know if you have kids but take some of the money you recieved and take you or your family on a nice vacation. You deserve it and certainly won't regret it. God bless and good luck!
