Best wishes.If you do have an AK, hopefully your using hollow points. 

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.

Best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, second best time is today" You are not too late to get into the REI world!

While I agree that the purchase is an important part of the process, if you buy based on price and not on the STR aspect of the deal, it could fail.You might get the best damn deal on a property in an area that makes a terrible STR thus it isn't a deal at all.

The tax rate would be 20%?

best of luck on your journey. if i can help in anyway let me know

You search for existing guides, select the best and provide the link or the document to your clients.

Trying to decide the best move for myself.

Keep looking, but be prepared for higher interest rates with maybe maximum of 65% loan amounts (hopefully more though).

Very cool house.I would try to figure out the highest and best use and go where the numbers guide you.
