Model Leaseback: A Different Way to Invest in New Construction

A model leaseback offers investors a way to own new construction real estate with an established lease arrangement. With Capstone Homes, investors can purchase select model homes in Flagstaff and Prescott, then lease the property back to Capstone Homes while it continues to be used as a model.

The investor purchases a Capstone Homes model home, then leases it back to Capstone for an agreed-upon period. Capstone remains the tenant and continues using the property as a model while the investor owns the home and receives lease payments according to the agreement. When the lease ends, the investor decides what comes next for the property. Unlike a traditional rental, there is no immediate need to find a tenant.

New construction can offer investors a lower-maintenance starting point than an older property that may require repairs or renovations. Capstone Homes builds energy-efficient residences with modern features and a 10-year warranty. Model homes also come professionally designed and furnished, with finishes, fixtures and décor selected to showcase the community. During the leaseback, Capstone continues to maintain the home as a model.

Finding and managing tenants can be one of the more hands-on parts of owning a rental property. With a model leaseback, Capstone Homes is the tenant during the agreed-upon lease term, offering a potentially more streamlined way to own new construction real estate.

Select model leaseback opportunities are available in Flagstaff and Prescott. From Flagstaff’s cooler climate and outdoor recreation to Prescott’s historic character and access to the outdoors, each market offers its own appeal. Availability, pricing and lease terms vary by home and community.

A model leaseback may be worth exploring if you’re looking for:

As with any investment, review the purchase and lease terms carefully and consult with your financial, tax and legal advisors.
