Frequently Asked Questions
Why SLB?
Unlock trapped equity. Remove real estate from balance sheet. Raise cash for operations without debt. Tax-deductible rent vs non-deductible depreciation. Strategic decision for operating companies holding owned real estate.
Typical structure?
15-25 year triple-net lease with renewal options. Rent set at market (no subsidy). Buyer (investor): yield play. Seller (operator): operational flexibility. Common for corporate HQ, manufacturing facilities, retail flagships.
Tax implications?
Sale triggers capital gains + depreciation recapture. Rent deductible as business expense. Leverage lost from mortgage (if owned). Full economic analysis required — sometimes net-net favorable; sometimes not. Work with CPA.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
