Rare opportunity to own rather than lease

Investment Overview

Purchase financing is available to owner-users through the Small Business Administration at record low interest rates. Down payments are as little as 10%. If purchased with 10% down ($399,500), the monthly loan payment is estimated at $24,339, which equates to only $0.86/SF (28,210 SF) - just below the lease rate for comparable space in the trade area. After removing principal paydown ($5,107/month during Year 1) and accounting for just the interest portion of the monthly loan payment, the cost to occupy drops to approximately $19,232/month, or just $0.68/SF/month - far less than the cost of leasing. Owner-users can further lower their occupancy cost by leasing a portion of the building. The SBA requires buyers to occupy at least 51% of the property, leaving the remaining 49% open to leasing. As an owner, one can benefit from the potential appreciation of the asset.
