This was a Buy vs. Lease Analysis done for a client who was considering both, buying or leasing an industrial unit. For the analysis, there were considered tow different, but similar (in terms of size, location, price range, layout, specs) industrial units.
The analysis considered for the buying option, of approx. 5500sf unit with a purchase price of $850,000 with a mortgage of $300,000 @6.5% interest rate amortized over 20 years and a total operating cost for the first year of approx. $59700. For the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, a 10 years holding period was considered, 13% discount rate an approx. $1,385,000 sale price, approx. $76,000 sale expenses, a 35%tax bracket for the client.
For the lease, a $8/sf basic rent with a $4.50/sf TMI and a $30/parking space per month for 12 parking spaces was considered.
The calculations were done before and after taxes, but the client wanted the after tax calculations to be considered,so based on those numbers, the advise for the client was to lease due to negative NPV.
