Advisor / FREE RE Investments Seminar/Webinar

Advisory: Transmercial recently represented a client in a restaurant transaction with a ground lease.  Normally, a restaurant with a ground lease is considered a low risk investment because if the tenant
does not renew the lease, the building with substantial value reverts to the landowner.  However, this ground has a provision which makes the investment very risky.  As a result, Transmercial promptly recommended the client to cancel the transaction.  For details, please see “Ground Lease” section in the attached newsletter.
