SALE LEASEBACK

Strategic Guidance. Professional Execution. Proven Results

Overview

A sale leaseback is an important vehicle to help fund a variety of business initiatives.

 

As an alternative to bank, mezzanine and mortgage financing, a sale leaseback can unlock your company's full real estate value, enable you to reduce your investment in non-core and non-performing business assets and free up cash in exchange for executing a long term lease.

 

Whether your organization is in good health or needs capital to solve business initiatives, a sale leaseback may be the right option for your organization.

​

Typical Terms

10 to 20 year term depending on several credit related and market related factors. A 20 year initial lease term will produce the most attractive cap rate and corresponding higher proceeds.

Type Of Lease

Absolute Triple net (NNN) lease which stipulates the tenant is responsible for all costs related to the ownership and operation of the property. This includes structure, roof, foundation, parking lot, etc.

Renewal Options

  • Four or more, 5-year options to renew.
