In my case, flood insurance was under $1800/yr and for the numbers made complete sense for me as a good deal with that added cost.4) Flood zone AE does not directly impact resale value, but can reduce the number of buyers considering your property which can lead to slower sale through time and potentially lower prices.

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.

It appeals to desperation on both sides of the transaction, which also makes it a great online class to sell...
