Both are great, Columbus you have Ohio state campus right there so that is a bonus.

I believe that's their primary business model.Seems like this would be a great bonus! 

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.

If it is a vacation property then anything you take in to help cover expenses is a bonus.

Exterior having new paint is always a bonus(as long as it looks good).

I'll send my address for my bonus/commission checks lol....look forward to hearing the progress!

I buy property to make money and the depreciation is bonus/gravy.

I jumped at this opportunity buy getting my license, signing up with her broker, only to discover all she wanted was the sign on bonus from me joining that office.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Making money was a bonus because I live here.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
