BP investor, I have been looking at a few small(5+) to mid (30+)  units and have come across something called a Master Lease. in the present research that I have conducted, the Master lease looks like a hit run for the investor. In these few deal the original investor has little to no management or maintenance cost as the tenant  covers all of these. Any one have experience dealing with these. What should I be looking for in these deals. What concerns should I have.

    So Tony  already answered.  They aren't selling. You will own nothing but a job.  You will be working for a rent spread.
