Own 2 self service washes in Florida. Cap rates are always going to be higher because it is definitely more like running a business than having a passive real estate property. I wouldn’t look at anything less than a 10 cap right now. Age of system plays a big role into how much your there fixing things. My washes are in very urban areas and if I don’t know how to fix something there is only 2 companies that will come out in the whole area. So keep that in mind if you are buying in rural areas. Definitely not as passive as you think.
As in you’re just buying the car wash business and not the real estate? I wouldn’t pay more than a 15% to 20% cap rate depending on how long the lease term is
Haha keep them coming! It really depends on the existing cash flow of the property. I've seen some as low as 10% down, but I'd recommend planning for 25% to 30% considering the market. You really want to go for a bank that understands these deals and lends on them to get the best terms. Some banks just don't like them
seems to be a car wash on every corner in Fla yet they continue to build. How is it even possible that they are successful? Literally every 5 minute drive..

That’s for sure - definitely need to keep the business side of it in mind when you’re doing these deals
what kind of liability insurance do you have?
What should I pay for a business that nets $40k a year? Everything is up to date and I’m good shape. It’s 5 self serve bays. I would be leasing it.

Thinking about buying one 500 miles where I live. How do you run a Self Serve Remotely?
Hey Tyler, seems I'm a regular here lol. Any idea what type of debt/terms are typical for a car wash business besides SBA?

I guess because of their relatively low overhead and a low barrier of entry for clientele. It's all about the convenience for attracting users
