Welcome to the podcast Real Estate Investing with Coach Carson.

I'm your host Chad Carson.

You can also call me Coach, and this is a show to help you get out of the financial grind

so you can do more of what matters.

Today I'm going to talk about a low risk, low money down technique to buy

real estate that nobody is talking about. And yet it's been one of the most powerful ways that I've

bought real estate over the last 21 years. I'm going to unpack it. It is the topic of master leases

and lease options. And today I'm again talking with Michael Zuber. I was on his show one rental at a time, and he's allowed me to share it with you here on the podcast. Really quickly, before we start, if you get any value out of this podcast, I have a quick request. It'll just take you a few seconds, but it would mean the world to me. One of the most important ways that I spread the word of the show is when people read reviews. So if you have a few seconds,

appreciate it. He's back. Folks, we have Coach Carson. He's just my boy. I call him Chad.

You can call him Chad or Coach Carson.

Sub two is really sucking the oxygen out of the creative financing space.

And it is what it is.

But there are some other things like lease options

or even master leases that we should at least understand. And I thought, who better to give

the audience a framework of what those are. So thank you for being here. Yeah, it's great to be here,

Michael. I love talking all things real estate, but creative financing in general is a lot of fun. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, why don't you start with master leases

first? What are they? How can they be used and give us some kind of frameworks? And if you can,

some examples. Yeah. So the context again is, you know, the typical toolbox of financing as you go

get traditional loan from a bank, master leases are one of those unusual tools. A lot of people don't use, but in commercial real estate, they're used a lot more often. It basically think about the concept that you rent a house. We've all rented a house before, rent an apartment. Normally, you can't sublease it to somebody else. You have to go ask your landlord to do that. A master lease just means
