RIPCO Self-Storage is excited to present the Cleburne Car Wash Portfolio located in Cleburne, Texas. This unique 6-property mixed-use portfolio offers a rare opportunity to acquire a strategically clustered collection of car washes, self-storage at the Country Club Mini Wash, and a duplex at the Kilpatrick site, concentrated within a 3.5-mile radius. The assets' close proximity to one another enables streamlined management, reduced operating costs, and enhanced oversight across the portfolio. This concentration creates meaningful economies of scale through shared staffing, maintenance, marketing, and administrative functions, while providing a diversified income stream across multiple asset types. The portfolio's asset concentration allows an investor to establish an immediate and dominant local market presence, creating operational efficiencies and long-term value that would be difficult to replicate through individual acquisitions.
Cleburne's strategic location just south of Fort Worth within the rapidly expanding Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex positions it to benefit from strong population growth, residential development, and increasing commuter traffic. Convenient access to major transportation corridors, including U.S. Highway 67 and Interstate 35W, supports continued economic activity and household formation, key drivers of self-storage demand. At the same time, the area's growing population base and daily vehicle traffic create a favorable environment for car wash operations, supporting consistent customer demand and long-term growth potential.
The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) introduced several tax advantages for car wash and gas station owners. The return of 100% bonus depreciation and the extension of pass-through tax deductions improve cash flow and encourage reinvestment, while growing interest from REITs and private equity is expected to support property values.
