The Benefits to You

Receive a lump sum payment

The simple truth is you can have more money now without any risk by taking the lump sum payment. Our consultants can provide the specific numbers, based on your particular situation and individual needs.

Put your money to better use now

Think what you could do with a large sum of money in the current market. With other sources of capital drying up, cash is king. You can invest it in real estate. Pay down other high interest loans. Invest in stocks, bonds or annuities. The WLC lease conversion program gives you options you simply couldn't have with the small monthly lease payment.

Tax Savings

By converting your lease income into cash and investing it into real estate, you can turn taxable income into a tax-deferred investment using a 1031 exchange. This can allow you to pay no taxes at all until you cash out of your real estate investment. Be sure to ask your tax advisor about the details. Many of our clients also qualify for the capital gains tax rate of 15% which is often less than half the tax rate of ordinary income. Whatever your tax strategy, you'll save a tremendous amount instead of paying taxes on the lease income.

Reduce your risk

Many cell tower companies and carriers are consolidating towers as a result of mergers. Others are reducing rents in order to cut costs. New technologies are being developed that will replace many cell sites . These situations combine to put your income stream at risk. The next time you lease comes up for renewal, the tower company may simply choose not to renew and relocate or eliminate the site.

By converting your lease to cash, you can eliminate this risk. WLC can offer you a reasonable lump sum payment or help you get the best deal possible. Either way, you don't have to worry if your lease income will be there tomorrow – you'll have the cash in hand.
