The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the 2025 bonus depreciation rate at 40%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $100K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.

So you know how that goes,  closer to the parks the better

It's hard to find a "perfect" market that is knocking it out of the park on all these parameters. 

And you want the person you’re doing business with (your buyer or seller) to be someone you can rely on to work with you, not against you.This might seem like a silly word to use in the context of these very official business transactions, but I stand by it: You have to pay attention to vibe.You know when you’re not getting a good feeling from someone.

Purchase price: $645,000 95% seller financed, 5% raised, $0 down. 33 unit mobile home park.

I'd be surprised if the complex doesn't have individually metered units so you may be able to eliminate the utility expenses unless those are for common areas like walk ways, parking lot or laundry.
