Creative Master Lease
I'm looking at an investment property where the owner needs to move quickly. I'm reaching out to the BP community to see if anyone has done a Master Lease before. I have a number of rental properties but have not done a Master Lease. Here is my understanding:
- I would take control of the property
- I am responsible for maintenance
- I am responsible for property taxes
- Either I insure it or use the current policy and add me as additionally insured
- Option to buy at a future date (12-24 months or whatever is agreed upon)
- I would pay a set lease amount each month ($2000, 4000 whatever is agreed to)
- The lease amount is owed regardless whether the building is occupied
- I will try to get the first 60-90 days with no payment to stabilize the property
- Owner retains ownership
Am I missing anything. Appreciate any input.
