Master Lease Checklist
Control multi-unit properties through master leases with purchase options and value-add strategies.
How the Master Lease Checklist Works
Follow a proven process for master lease acquisitions — from identifying underperforming properties and negotiating terms to executing value-add improvements and exercising your purchase option.
- Negotiate master lease rent, term, and renewal options
- Structure a purchase option at today's value to capture your improvements
- Plan and execute value-add improvements to increase NOI
- Document everything for the refinance when you exercise the option
Why This Matters
Master leases let you control properties without taking title — reducing your risk while you add value through better management. The checklist ensures you negotiate proper authority, set up accounting systems, and plan your option exercise timeline so you don't lose the value you've created.
- Lock in a purchase price before your improvements increase the value
- Avoid the #1 mistake: waiting too long to arrange financing for option exercise
- Build an evidence package that supports your refinance appraisal
