How it works
A credible valuation charges market rent against site earnings, applies an earnings multiple to what's left, and separately capitalizes that rent as the real estate value — which avoids the common mistake of double-counting rent. It then sanity-checks the total against benchmarks like price per gallon of annual volume and implied cap rate.
