How a sale-leaseback payout is calculated
In a sale-leaseback you sell your real estate and lease it back. The price an investor pays is the annual rent divided by the cap rate. If you agree to pay $200,000 of rent and the market cap rate is 6.0%, your proceeds are about $3.33 million.
Rent coverage drives the cap rate
Buyers care most about whether your store can comfortably cover the rent. Coverage is your store cash flow plus rent (EBITDAR) divided by rent. Strong coverage of 2x or more, a long lease, and a solid guaranty all compress the cap rate and increase your check. Recent C-store sale-leasebacks with fuel have priced around a 5.3% to 6.6% cap.
