Your rental income depends on your tenants remaining employed and paying rent.

I recently spoke to a property management firm that told me their clients don't experience any pain with financials or taxes Jan - April. 

You’re gonna pay a premium up there for that.

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!

Remember that once you purchase the property you are paying debt service, property taxes, etc. before you are even shovel ready, and during.  

I have many clients whom use their house part time and rent out time they will not be there.
