IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANY PURE NNN MARATHON GAS STATION ON THE MARKET PRODUCING A 6%- 8% CAP RATE LOCKED IN FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL NOT LAST LONG AS THE SECURITY OF THE TENANT IN PLACE AND THE RENTAL UPSIDE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE IN THIS MARKET.
