Author Topic: Buying a Theatre Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-15-2003 10:37 PM                        I've never had the landlord responsible for HVAC ... but always for Roof.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-16-2003 12:19 AM                        If you are confident with your business plan I personally really dont like leasing, in the end of the lease you dont have anything with basically the same payments as if you were buying the building (P,P,&E). But that is just my philosophy and I'm sure others will disagree. If the theatre, or any other business for that matter, is on shaky ground or could be if another was built nearby then I would think leasing would be the way to go, otherwise you might as well end up owning something at the end of the term. Edit: Oh, if you are just going into this as a business venture and not a long term commitment I guess leasing would be the way to go then also.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2003 12:43 PM                     Leasing might be an attractive option if the building you are interested would sell for $5 million but you only have $300K to get in to business.  |  IP: Logged Kara J.
