Gas Station FAQ (Buyers, Sellers, 1031, Financing, Diligence)

We screen for pricing realism versus comps, cash-flow supportability, rent coverage (if leasehold), and execution risk. Start with the buyer intake at https://gasstationsalesusa.com/buyer-intake.html so we can match your buy box and send only relevant opportunities.

Nationwide. Florida is a core focus market, but we source opportunities across the U.S. based on your target states/metros and deal type.

We keep first-pass emails clean (no full street addresses) for confidentiality and to prevent confusion. Once you confirm interest, we’ll coordinate the proper introduction and share location details.

Yes. Share your exchange deadline and replacement requirements. See https://gasstationsalesusa.com/1031.html for time-critical steps and common pitfalls to avoid.

Yes. We cover business-only/leasehold, fee-simple real estate included, leased fee investments, and lease opportunities. We label structure clearly so you can compare apples-to-apples.

Once we have your criteria, we can begin outreach and send initial matches quickly, then refine based on your feedback (price, gallons, margin signals, lease terms, and diligence needs).

All of the above. Tell us which structures you will consider and we’ll filter accordingly: business-only/assignment, fee-simple (business + real estate), leased fee (passive investment), or operator leases.

Business-only usually means you’re buying the operating business and stepping into a lease (or assignment). Real estate included means you’re buying the land/building too. The underwriting and financing differ, so we keep those comparisons separate.

Yes—if that’s your target, include it in your criteria. We can focus on diesel volumes, truck access, parking, and ancillary income (QSR, shop leases, showers, etc.) when applicable.

At minimum: budget range, target markets, structure preference (RE vs business-only), timeline, and proof of funds or lender readiness when required for confidential deals.

Not always. Some listing sides require it before releasing financials or address details—especially for private/quiet offerings. When it’s requested, we’ll guide you on what’s acceptable.

Early numbers are often seller or broker estimates. During diligence we request support such as POS reports, supplier statements, tax returns, rent/lease docs, and expense history to validate performance.

Yes. We’ll walk you through typical gas station diligence (environmental, tanks, lease terms, working capital/inventory, labor, compliance) so you know what to verify before committing.

Yes. We can coordinate introductions to financing options and help you understand common requirements. See https://gasstationsalesusa.com/finance.html for typical docs and down payment ranges.

We can market discreetly—high-level teaser first, then NDA/qualification before releasing sensitive details. Nothing goes public unless you approve the strategy and materials.

Best inputs are trailing 12 months sales (inside + fuel), gallons and margin, rent/loan terms, payroll, key expenses, and any capex/compliance items. The more complete the data, the tighter the value range.

Yes. We handle leasehold sales, assignments, and can help position the opportunity based on rent coverage and transfer terms.

Offer/LOI → diligence (financial + environmental + lease) → purchase agreement → closing. We help keep the timeline tight and reduce surprises with clear expectations early.
