As others have said, insurance will most likely not be worth it depending on your deductible.

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.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

There are some zip codes where you can indeed get above market rent with S8 (even after deducting utility allowance), but some where they are lower.

I get a lot of questions about housing vouchers and how you determine rent amount allowed.

This would allow me to stockpile rental income until I’m ready for the next investment, giving me more flexibility in the long run.Thanks again for your insight Yeah, I think a 15 year or 30 year loan is a better option because the interest you pay every month is lower and also you can pay it off in a short period of time if you want to.

@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

The interest being deductible is based on the use.

Then there’s this glorious tax season where you realize how many things you get to deduct that others can’t, while sheltering your income with depreciation, and earning tax free income with appreciation.
