Quoted: So to be clear....you're the producer of this video and you also sell information on how buy a car wash? You profit to expense ratio is off....probably way off. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Arfcom has been pretty positive on my other series, figured you'd like this new series I started today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt9pSsJDAyw Hopefully it'll help me pay for more 9mm So to be clear....you're the producer of this video and you also sell information on how buy a car wash? You profit to expense ratio is off....probably way off. You mean he’s getting more people to be interested in buying his business? Sounds like a good plan to me. |

Quoted: How much illicit gains are you laundering through it? View Quote Its basically impossible. The irs knows by who much water, electricity and chems you go thru, plus there is cycle timers on all of the equipment. sure it can be done, but it very hard to inject cash and have it come out clean. Skimming is hard to, but can be done. The one way to skim a little is cheating the cycle counters on the self serve, and thats what the guy I did work for did. But you need to realize things like rinse cycles in self serves dont use much water, its mostly air and power washer type systems. The brush is also very cheap to run, very little water but burns lots of the cycle time up. I wont get in to more detail about the cycle counters publicly, because I am sure it common industry insider info. But does not need to be blasted. |

It didn't seem like it made that much? $400 in 1.5 days? That's $97K per year for an asset you paid $675K for. Ehh idk. Maybe that is good.

I followed some of it for a while, most people that pay for those courses never do shit, or those who do rarely find any worthwhile success. It’s gotten so bad that a bunch of scammers are in the game just trying to talk like they are an expert and make money selling courses to people who can barely even afford the cost of the course. There is one guy who is clearly full of shit with e-commerce course who eventually sold a course about how to make and sell courses lmao |

Quoted: Anymore it's a 43x with a shield 15 and another shield 15 + 5 in my pocket. View Quote You make it seem kind of fun to do what you do, but was also watching a channel called “following Keenan” (probably a member here, seems like a like minded individual). I don’t mean any disrespect, but he seems pretty bitter after his years of dealing with that segment of society. He’s also kicking bums out of his laundromats and all the other common issues. Reminds me of my 12 month vacation to Afghanistan. The new guys all show up happy and ready to change the world, and the guys who have been there for 8 months plus just have this look of fuck this in their faces. The constant vandalism and threat of being robbed takes a certain person, and you seem to have it. But I’d become too bitter and would probably have to sell soon due to the people aspect. I’d love the fixing things and making it run side of things. I run 2 businesses that 95% of people are extremely happy to see me and deal with middle class and up. The 5% stress me out enough. If someone comes to me with a solid plan may consider being a mostly silent partner though. Thanks for all the insight. |

Not sure why people are so bent out of shape over the minor plugs for his pay service. I thought the video was well done and full of interesting content. How dare the guy mentions anything else he does, right?

OP, great stuff..... some of your audio on the outdoor shots is a lot quieter than your narrated stuff - would be great if you had a wireless lavalier mic or those shots.

Well this one is certainly more appealing than the trailer park and the people that go with it.
Speaking of people, I do like the aspect of not having to staff the place. Will be very instead in seeing how many hours a week it takes to keep the place going. |

I don’t understand this whole new movement of “video tape my entire life and post on YouTube.” Its super weird to me but if you enjoy it that’s cool

there's a full serve car wash on route 23 right past polaris and they're right next to each other, what kind of business model is that?
i've been a corp member for moo moo for a year, but i might switch to blue sky as their tunnels are longer and gets it cleaner, but less locations. |

Tagged for later. I hope to start the process to build a car wash in the next 12-18 months.

Is OP the same guy that posted a thread about buying a whole trailer park? Link? IIRC; that was a very interesting thread!
