Does anyone have or know any resources for analyzing car washes? There are a couple of car washes in my local area that are for sale that I am interested in but do not know where to start. 

I'm interested in following this project when/if you kick it off. we have this in columbus. 58 rooms on .1 acres. 28000 sq ft. but this site the land is 50k it's set same as columbus but in miami dade county but sounds good. are you more interested in the miami one or the columbus one? 

It’s great to hear that you’re already working on a project to expand opportunities for real estate investors—that’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the field.As you dive deeper, here are a few things you’ll want to focus on to better understand how real estate investors analyze deals and make decisions:1.

i found in my build projects that started just before and continued through the pandemic prices rose. everything but lumber became sticky IE they rose but did not fall..

While I have none in this market I have been on one realtors monthly newsletter with market analysis for over 8 years. 

Recently, our real estate agent did a market analysis and estimates we can sell for between $575K-$585K, resulting in a net gain after all of our fees of about $100K.

My project is expected to exit this year and it appears that will happen as expected and in line with projections or maybe a little better.

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

Hi Kyle - we have two development projects currently in DC.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development.
