Quotes:
“The ground has separate interest so the leaseholder can buy, sell, or keep as long as they like, and really the same goes for the ground.”
“What you’re really buying here is a super secured stream of income.”
“The beautiful thing about a ground lease is that if something goes wrong at a leasehold level with your tenant, you don’t have to foreclose and go through a lengthy process, you evict. Because it’s a lease and there is no landlord responsibilities to operate anything so there is nothing that the tenant can claim that the landlord did or didn’t do.”
