The proposed $38.5 billion deal would combine two major players in the U.S. convenience store market, potentially controlling 20% of the market.7-Eleven, the largest U.S. convenience store chain with 12,601 locations, currently holds 14.5% of the market.

I would also highly advise to spend 30 minutes and do a rent survey yourself and find comparable units and see what they rent for and charge.

I have another one were I optioned 120 acres that just got brought into long term planning for chips act. paid 5 million for it and spend 10k a month negative..

I guess I'm stuck with them for 1 year (or I guess I could spend $2100 to boot them). 

If its the latter then I always caution people spending money to save some is not always a good strategy.

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

The property is 2 hours away, but it feels like I’d lose a lot of control.

I recommend you spend some time picking and getting to really know your market.

People who think they are going to spend a few hours per week and make a $1000 is not reality.

Considering the owner is currently distressed (not wanting to spend more to fix it up for listing on the MLS), I may be able to make it work at a reasonable price point.
