What kind of default provisions are in a perpetual lease? 

Also, you may charge a premium on the rent (higher rent) in this model of leasing.If you charge them a higher upfront option fee, it will demonstrate that the buyer is committed reduce the likelihood of default.

Maybe I need to budget more for tenant default, vacancy, maintenance, or something else. 

Just a FYI be prepared for it to sell at a discount,Jay- I have seen people buying land notes for 12%-15% yield which is CRAZY and they are going to eventually lose their shirt once they go into default and the land value is repriced.Thank you for the info.

And I generally require a sponsor that has full real estate cycle experience with little to no money lost, low leverage, high skin in the game and reasonable fees and promotes.However, other investors will look at these deals as bad/too boring for them because they are more aggressive and not concerned about the risks of default, refinance, interest rates changing etc.

Calls to the company go to a voice mailbox that is full after the 6 month date.I have created a Notice of Contract Default that I will be sending to them via their lawyer.

We are not building but lending and buying defaulted loans on new builds and the uptick in defaulted loans on new builds we have seen a big uptick because pricing is not where it was anticipated.

I signed a one-year note, starting at 18% interest and accelerating to 20% in the second year in the event of non-payment, which technically the note is now in default.
