    I've had the same thought about converting bays to laundry. I imagine this could work but is very location dependent. Needs to be in more residential area with lower / lower middle income demographics? I know some commercial businesses use laundromats as well but I have to figure the vast...

    Very helpful thank you. I feel the push for all these EE tunnels is the real estate investor demand and that is gonna go away soon with high interest rates and as these 1031 buyers figure out that some of these PE wash companies aren't going to make it and the ones that do are gonna not renew...

    Hi, I am a real estate investor looking to possibly enter the car wash business. Based in the rural midwest. My idea is to acquire old, pretty run down self-serve car washes in markets that are big enough for a 4+ bay wash but too small for a tunnel (so between 5,000 and 15,000 people?)...
