My goals with BP is to continue to learn everything I can about financing, analyzing deals, obtaining leads, and managing my rentals.

There is life stages to investing, and the math is clear that strategic debt use, strategic leverage, pyramiding, appreciation, is the wealth generator. 

When considering 'break-even,' cash flow is included...it's the overall ROI that the property generated for you during your ownership.  

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.

Purchased for $139,999 using a mix of cash and hard money, we revamped it with modern updates, including a new kitchen, flooring, and fresh paint.The property rented for three years, generating steady cash flow of $450/month.

Good market or not so much thx I'm a multi-generational New Orleanian who has been in Real Estate for 20+ years full time as a Realtor and an investor.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

I curate a list of properties priced under $800K with the potential to generate six-figure gross income and share it with my clients.

They will have additional costs for mailing & online campaigns to get leads.

I have made my own list of leads as well with some properties that I find vacant, probate, tax lien. but have only helped an out of state realtor on a deal a yr ago. and 2025 I would like to have the right people to go to with questions and or properties when I talk/find home owners that are willing to get rid of the property as well.
