Real Estate Math

A Hawaii leasehold property has 40 years remaining on the lease with annual rent of $6,000 that resets to market in 10 years. Current market ground rent would be $18,000/year. What is the approximate annual leasehold rent savings for the first 10 years?

AA. $6,000
BB. $12,000✓ Correct
CC. $18,000
DD. $24,000

Explanation

Annual savings = Market ground rent - Current contract rent = $18,000 - $6,000 = $12,000/year. The leaseholder saves $12,000 annually compared to what they would pay if they were at market rent. However, after the 10-year reset, rent would increase to market, eliminating these savings.
