We're not the only company in the lease conversion business, but we've got good reasons for thinking we're the best. Here are the top six:
- Portfolio Structure With Upside Strategy Unlike most of our competitors, we don't immediately resell your lease. Each additional lease enhances the value of our portfolio. Furthermore, managing the portfolio allows us to market your site into the future, potentially providing opportunities for additional rents for both Unison and you.
- Preferential Tax Treatment We've structured our conversion agreement so that your lump sum payment can qualify for capital gains tax treatment - better than the ordinary income rate you're paying on your rent checks right now. And if you want to reinvest in real estate, our easement structure typically qualifies for 1031 Like-Kind Exchange treatment, which allows you to defer your taxes indefinitely.
- Experience Our dynamic, creative team has unmatched experience in the wireless, real estate, and finance industries, as well as the knowledge gained from hundreds of transactions with everyone from individual site owners to the City of Boston. Whether you're a not-for-profit, low-income housing developer, church, school district, or water authority, we have the expertise to structure a deal that works for you.
- Blue Chip Financial Backing Unison has financial backing from UBS, Tower Brook Capital Partners, and our management team. We are here for the long term, and, thanks to our credit profile, we can pay you more for your lease.
- Immediate Funding Unison has funding in place. When your lease conversion closes, you'll receive your lump sum within 24 hours. With other companies, you'll see delay after delay while they try to find a third-party buyer to finance your deal.
- Insurance Coverage: We cover your site with a $1 million insurance policy - at no cost to you - to protect your investment in the property where the cell site is located, as well as our investment.
