About 9 acres land is available .How difficult is it to get it rezoned to commercial to set up a gas station?

Those are valid and insightful thoughts.

If the answer is not a resounding yes I take a minute and re-evaluate what I am doing.Once you have for some people 7 figure wealth and others 8 figure wealth you let off the gas and start enjoying more fruits of your labor as you get older and time becomes more and more precious. ( Dust in the wind ) song is very real (not another minute will your dollars buy).

@Joshua Bailey, there are many valid viewpoints on this and I don't want to try to give any exhaustive opinion.

There is an immense amount of wisdom in the replies to this post, I hear a lot of positivity overall with a solid sprinkling of caution.I also question the validity of the agent's scenario you mention above in regards to taxes - you should speak to your CPA on how this purchase would impact you. 

@Robert MairIt's a very valid point - management will make or break your investment, both locally and out-of-state.

So make sure you leave enough gas in the tank to make it to the finish line.Good Luck!

Hello,I have a question for some experienced investors.I recently purchased a property that was illegally made into a duplex with zoned central air and gas, and would fit all categories if stairs were rebuilt from top deck. 

Removal or deactivating will cost a few thousand but not 10s of thousand and you might want to convert to gas or upgrade to a more efficient boiler anyway.
