Hey Allen, When you approach the finance people, are you being specific in your request?

There are a lot of site-specific issues you need to investigate before deciding what the land is worth to you.

They were general questions, not specific to my account but extremely helpful.

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.

Just trying to gauge whether your bookkeeper is overcharging, especially if you are splitting duties.I would be careful with real estate-specific software.

You need to provide a bit more specifics about the property, about the insights you want, etc.  

Do you have something that speaks to the specific cleaning necessary at the duration of the lease? 

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!
