That's a busy 4+1 should be easy to verify. Go by on the weekend and a couple of weekdays place should be humming right along. If it's not I would be very suspicious. Of course get tax returns etc. all the good stuff
Ralph, check your text. Ive been by 3x in last 10 days. Busy as,a dang ant farm!

I wouldn’t walk I’d run to the bank 😬 and give the owner some first right of refusal money after your due diligence

Not sure what "1st right of refusal" is...
Ive heard of Ernst(sp?) money.

My understanding it’s the same. Not 100 percent. My first Carwash years back we gave the owner money down and she wouldn’t sell it for 30 days. Sounds like the same thing. Glad to see deals like the one you’re going to get. Keep us posted

I’m sure you will be by there several more times in the next week. If it‘s still this busy work out a deal and be down.
Can you add anything new to the bays to extend customers time that will add extra dollars.
I’m sure you can work out a better deal to some extent.

I was curious because I've been negotiating on a 3/1. Income has gone down every year. There is potential to grow, but with 13 new express washes opening last year, there is a lot of IBA revenue that will never come back. It is a touch free, but machine is older and would need to be replaced soon.

Slash, based on 13 new Express Washes only, no way I would do that. LOTS of risk there, & not much reward...
