First you must determine if you want to purchase the service station operating business and lease the real estate, purchase the real estate and be a landlord to the station operator, or purchase both the operating business and the real estate.Many of the best locations are either owned by oil companies and leased to operators, or have restrictive contracts with severe penalties for changing gas suppliers.
