My advice is to prioritize what you are looking to accomplish in real estate, from what you've said you have a good picture of where you want to go.

It's just a matter of what you prioritize and the level of customization you want. 

Lastly, I'll mention calling title companies and asking them if they would be willing to share your information with their most active customers that flip houses.I highly recommend that you go to a REIA meeting or biggerpockets meetup nearby where it's not only easy to find potential buyers here, but also great to find mentors or advice.Although finding buyers is something that needs to be completed for you to wholesale your deal, I recommend prioritizing FINDING the deal and getting it in writing FIRST. 

Car wash is definitely more hands on, but has the potential for good monthly cash flow, if that is what you are prioritizing.
