Harris Investment Group's Founder and CEO Jason Harris is back on the HIG Podcast for a mid-year update — and there's a lot to cover. MattyP and Bronson sit down with Jason to break down a recently closed $26.5 million TA Center truck stop deal in Montgomery, Alabama, including the financing structure, cap rate strategy, and why the depreciation benefits made it especially attractive for family offices and RIA groups.

Jason walks through what makes truck stops such a compelling asset class right now — from triple net lease structures and 6–7% day-one cash flow, to bonus depreciation ratios that can reach 210–250% in year one. He also shares why HIG is bullish on truck stops over multifamily in the current environment, what's in the pipeline for the back half of 2025, and what investors should know about the upcoming Cubbies and Pilot deals.

The episode closes with a teaser on Opportunity Zones — and why Jason calls OZ "the mega real estate Roth." A full deep-dive episode on OZ 2.0 with Jason, MattyP, Bronson, and Matt Denning is coming soon.

Join Bronson Kaufusi and MattyP as they welcome Ryan Bullard, Harris Investment Group's Director of Institutional Sales, to the podcast. Ryan shares his background in tech and how a golf game with Jason Harris led him to HIG, where he was immediately struck by Jason's "trifecta" knowledge of tax strategy, real estate, and investing.

This episode is essential for advisors navigating the "Great Wealth Transfer." The conversation dives deep into the major changes reshaping the financial landscape, revealing why alternatives, real estate investing, and tax planning are rapidly becoming core allocations for high-net-worth clients. Learn why RIAs are now required to operate like multi-family offices to keep up with client demands. The RIA reinvention has arrived.

Ryan details HIG's differentiated offering in the real estate space: a niche product focused on gas stations and truck stops, not just multifamily. This unique strategy provides great cash flow and future growth potential, with the added benefit of substantial depreciation loss.

This episode of The HIG Podcast takes you behind the counter and into the operator’s seat for an inside look at gas station and truck stop operations. Hosts Bronson Kaufusi and MattyP sit down with Laura, Harris Investment Group’s gas station and truck stop operations specialist, who oversees HIG’s gas station and truck stop portfolio. Drawing from years of firsthand experience, Laura shares her journey from part-time cashier to Director of Operations and offers real-world insight into what it takes to successfully run and scale these essential roadside businesses.

Lara shares the critical “boots on the ground” factors that separate an average gas station from a top-performing one, from the importance of cleanliness (all the way down to the bathroom corners) to the psychology behind great customer service. She also breaks down the serious operational side of the gasoline business, including safety protocols, monitoring systems, and the strict regulations drivers often ignore.

Finally, you’ll hear why truck stops serve as a true “home away from home” for truckers and which essential amenities are non-negotiable for success in that space.
