Lease vs. Own

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding between leasing vs. owning:

• Leasing: Lower upfront costs, but potentially higher long-term expenses.
• Ownership: Start with just 10% down through the SBA 504 Program.
• Monthly payments: Often comparable between leasing and owning.
• Building Appreciation: Owners reap the rewards, while leasing benefits the landlord.
• Utilize Space: Own to lease out surplus areas and reduce occupancy expenses.
• Equity Building: Ownership translates to building retirement security.
• Tax Advantages: Ownership offers unique tax benefits compared to leasing.
