Sale-Leaseback of Business Real Estate

Sell your operating real estate; lease it back; free trapped capital.

Overview

Business owners often sit on $2M–$20M of appreciated real estate housing their operations. Sale-leaseback to a net-lease REIT or private buyer unlocks 100% of the equity as cash — while you keep the location on a long-term triple-net lease. Structure to preserve §1031 or QSBS-adjacent strategies.
