Benefits of the Master Lease Agreement with the Option to Purchase

When it comes to commercial real estate, some of the best opportunities come from thinking creatively. One of Doc Haller’s favorite strategies is the Master Lease Agreement with the Option to Purchase. It’s a mouthful, but the benefits are powerful — especially for sellers who may otherwise struggle to move a property.

So what makes a Master Lease such a win for the seller? Doc lays it out clearly:

• No commission fees. Sellers avoid paying the traditional 6% commission.
• No prepayment penalties. Waiting out 2–5 years can eliminate costly lender penalties (up to 5% — nearly a full commission saved).
• Steady payments. Sellers know they’ll get paid along the way, bringing peace of mind.
• Tax advantages. They keep depreciation, interest deductions, and expense write-offs.
• Freedom from management hassles. The buyer handles day-to-day responsibilities, while the seller simply collects payments.

All of these advantages add up to real peace of mind for the seller.

But that’s not the whole picture. Keep watching the full video to hear Doc explain why the buyer also comes out ahead — and how this strategy truly creates a win-win.
