Generating Income in Every Economy

I have spent the last few years evaluating 40-50 gasoline stations, qualifying about twenty and out of those successfully negotiated seven of them. Three of which we now own, and two are still in the pipeline coming to close.

Confidential**

This was our First Gasoline Station, This deal taught us a lot about the industry, as well as everything that could go wrong, did. From unpaid taxes by the last owner to getting scammed by the gasoline wholesaler. From finding falsified architectural reports to vandalism and theft. We learned the entire 8 mile inch by inch. But buying this was the right decision in hindsight.

Being in the Gasoline business for a few years now we could better evaluate the business, from raw data we can easily determine profit ratio and decide if it is a good deal for us, even in a worst possible scenario. This seller was very hesitant to show his financials, PnLs or taxes. But he provided the raw data (if he had provided his PnLs and tax documents, they would be useless to us in making the decision because they can be influenced by the seller by either inflated or deflated returns). I asked my Accountant and My two mentors, they were weary of the rental situation of the property. But I had done my due diligence thoroughly and believed in this deal succeeding, they also believed in my diligence and respected my ability to make my decisions based off of research and facts even when going against their recommendations.

BLUE = EQUITY INJECTION

GREEN = YEAR ONE ROI (7 months)

ORANGE = NET ROI FOR YEAR ONE AND TWO

PARTING WAYS

Every deal is unique, looking through the right lens can often change a good deal into a great deal. Sometimes its not only about the amount of profit you receive but also how much effort and time continuously goes into generating that profit. If you can spend only twenty percent of your time and still continuously generate 80% of the profits. That saves your most valuable resource your Time!

ROI= LESS THAN ONE YEAR

CLASSIFIED**

This is still under negotiations, if it comes to a close it will be a better deal than each of the three mentioned above. Still require additional 600k to bring this to fruition.

EXPECTED ROI = LESS THAN ONE YEAR
