Small box.
Big write-off.
My dad started buying Dollar Generals twelve years ago. I started buying houses. He finally talked me over to his side, and I should have listened sooner. Today the family owns 51 stores across 10 states, we buy about 15 a year, and I sell them too.
Or just call. 662-816-6116, I pick up.

Own a Dollar General? Or twenty? Two ways I can help.
One store or a whole portfolio. If what you own fits what the family is buying, I'll make you a direct offer and we close in weeks, not months. If it doesn't, I'll list it and sell it for you, individually or as a package. Either way you get a straight answer within 24 hours.
Get a direct offer
We hold for the long run, for cash flow and for depreciation. That means we can say yes to stores institutional buyers pass on: shorter terms, smaller towns, NN leases, older vintages.
- No financing contingency. Bank relationships already in place.
- 15-day due diligence. Lease, site visit, store intel, done.
- $25,000 earnest money on signing.
- We've closed in 30 days from letter of intent.
- Portfolios welcome. We buy 15 a year; selling us five at once saves us both a year of work.
Have me sell it
If your store doesn't fit our buy box, or you want full market exposure, I'll list it. I've put 10 of the family's own stores on the market this fall, each with a lease-verified offering memorandum on CoStar, Crexi and LoopNet.
- I've sat on your side of the table. I know what a seller actually nets.
- A buyer list that already calls me: 1031 and tax-motivated investors.
- Every OM claim checked against the lease, not the last broker's flyer.
- Portfolio sales handled whole or split. Some stores clear best together, some alone. I'll show you the math both ways.
What we look for
We're long-term holders, not flippers, so we can say yes to stores most buyers pass on. If yours is close to this, send it. Every submission gets a real answer, and we price each store on its own merits.
Tell me about your store
Takes a minute. I reply personally within 24 hours.
Tracts offered
10 stores on the market now, most from the family's own portfolio. Every one comes with a lease-verified offering memorandum. Buyer-list members hear about new tracts and price changes first.
Join the buyer list
New listings, off-market stores and price changes go to this list before they go anywhere else. No spam. Leave any time.
Buy from someone who owns them
Most brokers have never owned a Dollar General. I co-own them, the family owns 51, and we've had one go dark. So when you ask about renewal risk, HVAC exposure, or whether the dirt holds value if the tenant leaves, you get an owner's answer, not a flyer.
And if what's listed here isn't the right fit, tell me your box. Finding stores that aren't on the market is what I do all week for the family. I'm good at it, and I'll do it for you, whether you want one store this year or a dozen.
- Every OM claim is checked against the executed lease and amendments.
- 1031 ready. We know the 45 and 180-day clocks and can move a contract fast.
- Off-market sourcing. Give me your criteria and I'll bring you deals.
- Ask me about cost segregation on any store you're considering.
- Some of the family's stores never hit CoStar. The list hears first.
It's not a loophole. It's depreciation.
Cash flow is the obvious part. The less obvious part is that a Dollar General building is one of the cleanest cost segregation candidates in real estate, and that's what sets our pace.
Cost segregation
A study breaks the building into its parts. Parking, flooring, fixtures, refrigeration and electrical can be depreciated over 5, 7 or 15 years instead of 39. Dollar General builds to a prototype, so these studies are fast and well-established.
Bonus depreciation
Bonus depreciation lets you take those short-life components largely in year one. On a typical store a meaningful share of the purchase price can become a first-year deduction. A large paper loss against a real, rent-paying asset.
Then do it again
Depreciation gets used up in two or three years. Then you sell, 1031 into the next store, or swap with another owner to reset the clock. That cycle is why we're buyers and sellers every single year.
General information from an owner's experience, not tax or legal advice. Depreciation rules and bonus percentages change with the tax code and depend on your situation. Confirm everything with your CPA before acting.
Dad bought stores. I bought houses. He won.
Twelve years ago my dad bought his first Dollar General and I bought my first rental house. He kept buying stores. I kept buying houses, over a hundred doors across Mississippi and Ohio, hundreds of closed deals, a decade running a real estate business. Every year he'd tell me net lease was simpler, and every year I'd nod and go fix a water heater.
He was right. Today the family owns 51 Dollar General and Family Dollar stores across 10 states, I co-own stores with my brothers, and we've had one go dark, so I know both sides of the lease. I got licensed so I could handle the family's buying and selling directly, and so other owners could lean on what we've learned the hard way.
