Sale-Leasebacks provide several advantages to dealership owners:
Unlocks Capital: Converts real estate equity into liquid funds for reinvestment, expansion, debt reduction, or operational improvements.
Maintains Operational Control: The dealer continues to operate from the same location under a long-term lease, ensuring business continuity.
Improves Financial Position: Strengthens the balance sheet by turning real estate into an income-generating leasehold while maintaining access to essential property assets.
Enhances Growth Opportunities: The capital gained from a Sale-Leaseback can be reinvested into acquiring additional dealerships, upgrading facilities, or expanding market share.
Pointe Automotive structures Sale-Leasebacks that provide favorable terms, ensuring financial flexibility without disrupting day-to-day operations.
-
One of the core strengths of Pointe Automotive is our ability to uncover off-market opportunities that are not publicly advertised. We maintain an extensive network of industry contacts, including dealership owners, investors, and real estate professionals. This network, combined with our deep market knowledge, allows us to identify and secure transactions that might otherwise be overlooked.
By focusing on off-market deals, we provide our clients with a competitive advantage. Auto dealers and investors gain access to unique opportunities that can result in more favorable terms and a higher return on investment, as these opportunities are typically less competitive than publicly listed transactions.
