Many dream of owning multifamily or commercial real estate but feel held back by money, loan requirements, or lack of experience. Master lease agreements offer a proven way to take control of income-producing properties without bank financing, large down payments, or high net worth.
In this podcast you'll learn:
- What a master lease agreement is (and how it’s different from a lease option)
- Why sellers agree to MLAs and the five key benefits for them
- Key deal terms found in a well-structured MLA
- How to exit safely and profitably
- Common pitfalls to avoid when using this strategy
- A real-life example of how one investor earned $1.75 million with just 10% down
This strategy is beginner-friendly and lets investors manage and profit from properties before officially owning them. Learn how it works and why it’s changing the game in real estate.
