When it comes to acquiring the equipment you need for real estate development—whether to build, expand, or scale your projects—the choice between equipment financing and leasing solutions can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.
Let’s break it down so you can make the smartest choice based on your timeline, tax strategy, and long-term goals.
When you engage in equipment financing, you’re making a significant investment in a long-term asset. You make monthly payments toward eventual full ownership, which is particularly beneficial for real estate development projects where equipment will be utilized for years. This approach is ideal for developers who desire full control over their assets without restrictions, and it allows for building equity in your business assets.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Full ownership at the end of the financing term
- Tax advantages, including Section 179 deductions and depreciation
- The freedom to modify or customize equipment as needed
- Fixed monthly payments enhance budgeting and planning for your projects
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- Monthly payments may be higher compared to leasing solutions
- You’ll be responsible for maintenance and repairs
- May require a down payment
Leasing solutions allow you to use the equipment without the commitment of ownership, making it ideal for those involved in real estate development who want the latest gear with maximum flexibility.
BEST FOR:
- Short-term projects or equipment with a shorter usable life
- Developers looking to conserve working capital through effective equipment financing
- Projects where newer, updated equipment is needed frequently
KEY BENEFITS:
- Lower monthly payments than traditional financing options
- No large upfront costs associated with purchasing equipment
- Potential to upgrade at the end of the lease term
- Often includes service, maintenance, or warranties, reducing additional expenses
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- You don’t own the equipment (unless there’s a buyout option)
- May come with usage limits or restrictions that could impact your project
- Can be more expensive long-term if you plan to use the equipment for many years
