REALIZING THE VALUE OF A LEASE PREPAYMENT

Through lease prepayments, Md7 has guaranteed millions of dollars of cell site income to hundreds of landlords who can now realize the full value of their cell site leases.  A lease prepayment gives landlords an up-front cash payment for future rents while maintaining ownership and control of the leased property.

Md7’s Lease Prepayment Program offers many benefits to landlords, such as:

  • Financing
  • Simplicity
  • Risk Free
  • Retained Rights
  • Education
  • Trust
  • Authority

Financing: Up-front cash payments can pay for a child’s college education, finance your retirement or make a dream vacation a reality.

Because 90% of cell site leases between landlords and carriers are not guaranteed, the value of these leases cannot be leveraged with financial institutions. Lease prepayments provide an alternate financial resource that enables you to reinvest in your business or expand your enterprise with the purchase of additional assets.

Landlords use lease prepayments to make improvements to their property, which in turn enables them to charge competitive rents to their other tenants. For religious and other non-profit institutions, cell site lease prepayments are tax free to the landlord. Secure, up-front lease prepayments enable government entities to operate their budgets in a fiscally prudent manner as the lump sum cash payment eliminates risk in their financial forecasting.

Simplicity: Lease prepayments are a quick cash infusion - usually available within 30 to 60 days after obtaining signed paperwork.

One payment alleviates the need to monitor the lease and deal with any carrier modifications based on industry volatility.

Because of our experience with the major carriers, Md7 can help you cash in on one or more of your cell site leases with multiple carriers.

Risk Free: Md7 lease prepayments provide financial security to landlords – a guaranty that has never previously existed in the telecommunications industry.  At a time when cell site income is most unpredictable, Md7 assumes all the risks associated with site termination or modification while providing landlords with a secure, up-front prepayment of lease rents.

The full cash payment you receive from Md7 is guaranteed, regardless of whether or when the carrier chooses to pursue a rent reduction or exercise its right to site termination or decommission.

Md7 is backed by a major national lender and a private equity firm so we have the financial strength to securely fund your lease prepayment.

Retained Rights: You retain ownership and control of your real property.  Md7 will not disturb your property in any way.

Unlike many other lease financing companies, Md7 does not demand long-term control or ownership of your wireless site and associated easements. At the end of the lease assignment period, we return the cell site lease rights to the landlord.

Your returned rights afford you the opportunity to resume your relationship with the carrier and seek future rents.

Education: When Md7 administers a lease prepayment program on behalf of a carrier, we have the most up-to-date, first-hand knowledge of the carrier’s network strategy and plans.  We seek to educate landlords on the changing marketplace that could threaten their cell site revenue stream and offer an opportunity to protect their income

Trust: Md7 is a preferred real estate asset manager for top national wireless carriers and is authorized by your carrier to administer this program.  We have built our business and reputation upon solid relationships with both landlords and carriers.  Our excellent credentials validate our experience and expertise and are evidenced by letters of authorization, industry reports and testimonials from among the hundreds of landlords for whom we have helped to secure their cell site revenue.

Because of our preferred status with national carriers, we will not compromise your relationship with your cell site lease tenant.

Authority: Your carrier determines which landlords are invited to participate in the lease prepayment program, and has authorized Md7 to administer this program because of our expertise in real estate asset management and cell site leasing.  Md7 will oversee all aspects of your lease prepayment transaction and guide you through the decision-making process efficiently and with the highest standard of care.

MD7 Testimonials - FirestationAntenna on Fire Station Roof Converted to Fire Truck in the Station

A one-fire truck town in Iowa needed to add a second vehicle at a cost of $250,000. The plan was to put a sales tax increase on the ballot. If it passed, tax proceeds plus the income from the cell tower on the station roof would be used to fund the new fire truck. City officials were concerned about the risk associated with financing a vehicle with a cell tower site lease that could be cancelled by the carrier, and the tax increase was not a popular option. Md7 was able to provide $125,000 cash up-front, funding the new fire truck without raising taxes or taking a financial risk. There are now two fire trucks in the town.
