What buyers usually mean by “gas station for sale los angeles”
- Location drivers: access, visibility, and traffic patterns that support inside sales and fuel volume.

Deal structures and what to underwrite
Fuel assets trade under several common structures. The “best” structure depends on your goals (operator cash flow vs investor yield) and how much control you need. See the detailed breakdown on Transaction Types.
- Real estate + business: buy the land/building plus operations.
- Business-only / leasehold: buy operations and lease the real estate.
- NNN / net lease: investor structure—underwrite lease strength and term.
- Ground lease / sale-leaseback: liquidity/control tradeoffs and rent reset modeling.
