What I’m asking for (please be specific): Your experience launching under an external QB/BIC — what worked, what didn’t.Red flags (e.g., weak trust-account processes, slow ad approvals, unclear authority/access).Compensation models: monthly retainer, per-door supervision fee, rev-share, flat + performance, minimum terms/exit clauses.Ballpark ranges and how they scale with door count.Where you found them: NARPM Triangle chapter, local REALTOR associations, NCREC license/firm search, BP groups, LinkedIn, referrals.Contract must-haves (IC setup): authority, E&O proof, ad-approval SLA, trust-account signatories, data access, transition/exit clauses.

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 current bonus depreciation rate at 100%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $200K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.

That is because I make an additional payment on principal every month on top of the normal mortgage.

I consider this to be the same as an add-on product, since it is only available for a significant additional fee.To try to keep this simple, I’m not going to get into all the variations that we see with QuickBooks.

The hard part was getting those in our company to recognize that once there was an alert we have to communicate internally before communicating externally. but weve since straigtened that out and its no longer an issue.
