The Benefits of Master Leasing

Master leasing has been around for a long time and offers some good benefits for both the investor and the property owner.

As an investor, some of the key benefits of master leasing are:

  • You get to control the property
  • There is the potential for immediate cash flow
  • You can borrow against the lease
  • You can sublease to other entities who further sublease to other occupants

David Tilney started getting cash flow from day one with master leasing. It gave him the opportunity to build up rapport with the owners, gain trust, and get to test drive the property to see if he had any interest in it before buying it.

Join us for this episode as David discusses his experience and the many benefits of master leasing.

“From my perspective, I don’t think my properties are my biggest assets — I think my tenants are my biggest assets.” — David Tilney

Overcoming Shyness and Limiting Beliefs: A Personal Growth Story

From overcoming shyness to finding a successful niche in mobile homes, Adrian Smude has come a long way in the last couple of years.  Adrian recognized his own shortcomings and decided to do something about it. He joined Lifeonaire and sought the help of two Lifeonaire coaches to help build his confidence and guide him toward his real estate goals. He also pushed himself to attend networking events and joined toastmasters to help him get used to talking in front of people.

Adrian’s two Lifeonaire coaches have also helped him push forward and stay focused on his real estate vision and goals, and his real estate business is now going gangbusters. One of his personal goals is to be debt free, and he is well on his way to achieving this. His other goal was to make enough in passive real estate income so that his wife could have the option to not have to work at her other job — and that goal has now become a reality.

Join us for this podcast as we get an update on how Adrian has overcome several struggles to find a successful niche in mobile homes.

 

“I would have never thought that [kind of success] was possible for me.” — Adrian Smude
