Active listings InvestmentGrade.com tracks with an asking cap rate (stated in the listing, or computed from its stated income and price when no rate is stated), listings last observed October 19, 2026. Asking cap rates are not closed-sale cap rates. The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of listings. The 10-year Treasury yield is 5.24% as of October 1, 2026 (FRED series DGS10). Ratings are the agency ratings in our ratings database for the entity shown, which may be a parent company; the rating type (for example issuer, senior unsecured debt, long-term debt or revenue bond ratings) varies by company and is shown on each tenant page. A rating applies to a lease only if the rated entity signs or guarantees it, so confirm the tenant and any guarantor in the lease. n/a means no verified rating is on file. Not shown because fewer than 3 active listings with a published cap rate were observed: Casey's General Stores.

Whether a listing is a ground lease or a building lease changes what the buyer owns and can depreciate, so compare a property with listings for the same tenant and structure.

What to Check in a QuikTrip Lease

  • Tenant and guarantor: which entity signs the lease and whether a parent guarantees it.
  • Term and rent increases: remaining term, renewal options and the rent schedule; increases vary by lease, so confirm the schedule in the lease.
  • Ground lease or building lease: some fuel sites are ground leases; confirm whether the sale includes the building.
  • Environmental: underground storage tanks; review environmental reports and the lease’s environmental provisions.
  • Site: traffic counts, access, corner position and fuel volume where available.

Depreciation and Cost Segregation
When the buyer owns the building, a cost segregation study may reclassify part of the purchase price, such as site improvements and some building systems and equipment, into 5-, 7- or 15-year property. That property can qualify for 100% bonus depreciation under Internal Revenue Code section 168(k) if acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025; property is not treated as acquired after that date if a written binding contract to acquire it was entered into on or before that date (IRS Notice 2026-11). How much qualifies varies widely by property and should be documented, for example in an engineering-based study. On a ground lease where the tenant owns the building, the investor owns only land, which cannot be depreciated (Treasury Regulation section 1.167(a)-2), and equipment owned by the tenant is not the landlord’s to depreciate. On a taxable sale, depreciation taken, including bonus depreciation, can be recaptured as ordinary income to the extent of gain under Internal Revenue Code sections 1245 and 1250 (under section 1250, generally only depreciation in excess of straight-line). A 1031 exchange can defer gain on real property held for investment or business use if the exchange meets section 1031’s requirements, including identifying replacement property within 45 days and receiving it within 180 days or by the due date, with extensions, of that year’s tax return if earlier (section 1031(a)(3)), but recapture can still apply in an exchange (sections 1245(b)(4) and 1250(d)(4)). Consult a tax professional. Some gas station and convenience store buildings can qualify as 15-year property, and therefore for bonus depreciation, if they are used to a substantial extent in retail fuel sales and meet one of three IRS tests: at least half of gross revenue from petroleum sales, at least half of floor space devoted to petroleum marketing sales, or a building of 1,400 square feet or less (IRS Publication 946); the revenue test requires the operator’s sales data. Fuel tanks, dispensers and canopies may be owned by the operator or fuel supplier rather than the landlord, so confirm ownership in the lease. See the Gas Station Bonus Depreciation guide.
