All of that concrete rubbish has to be hauled away and new soil brought in.

Oh God, too precious.We moved her into a different vacant apartment, and she convinced the owner to buy her a new carpet, because the old one was supposedly ruined by dry plaster dust.  

Other than that for us, closing is like watching paint dry. 

Here's the list of things I disabled for the Nest in my properties for those doing research:- Home/Away Assist: Off- Time-to-temp: Ready (Didn't touch)- Early-On: Off- Cool to Dry: Off- Sunblock: On - Ready (Didn't touch)- Leaf: Ready (Don't remember touching, but could have been enabled during setup)- Airwave: On - Ready- Lock: Currently off for one property (debating if I want to lock the thermostat at 68 for cooling and 78 for heating - and taking special requests from quests) 

one of the partners that we went in on the deal with owned two other car washes nearby that are self-service wash style you mentioned and although our full service wash had a much higher average ticket value and overall more revenue, his other two washes averaged less than 1% in labor cost where our full service was would be between 20%-30% on any given day. we ran a detail crew of around 5 people and then had around 10 or so people on hand to handle the car wash traffic. we tried to get away with not hand drying the vehicles after they exited the wash but the previous owner had made that a staple of the business so when we stopped doing it people got frustrated and we decided to keep that a part of the process. in doing so that means you have to pay labor tax!

Again I don't think this is a 2024 or even early 2025 type problem, I am more so looking to maintain my current returns, while having the ability to scale further in the 3-5y horizon while tapping into equity built over the previous few years of renovations and property stabilization.Yes a normalized market is a great opportunity to grow the portfolio, which I certainly plan on doing, I just want to ensure I can tap into the dry gunpowder that has taken a lot of effort to create the past two years.

Steve Mashura,NAR partners with businesses to peddle whatever wares to newly licensed agents as a benefit that sucks them dry of any start up money.NAR has some lobbying efforts that help with legislation from time to time but other than that pretty worthless.I was REALTOR first year in business over 20 years ago and saw no value.

What's the cost to build - one might be more advantageous because of terrain or soils (ask the sellers for a soils report). 

There were cups and bowls drying on the counter next to the sink.

Sheetrock guys always need another room to work on while mud/paint dries.
