What is the process for obtaining a quote?
If you can give us basic lease information when you call us (e.g., rent, escalator, term), our professional will be able to give you a non-binding quote over the phone. Once you send us the necessary documentation (lease documents, rent verification, etc.) so that we can verify the terms and economics from which the quote was derived, we will finalize the quote and send you a Letter of Intent.

How do I know your quote is the best quote in the market?
For the most part, all the finance companies and aggregators have the same cost of capital. You may receive a higher quote from another company that will then re-trade you at closing. At BLACKDOT, we work hard to ensure you receive top dollar for your deal.

How long does it take to close and fund a transaction?
BLACKDOT aims to close and fund transactions within 45 to 90 days from receipt of an executed Letter of Intent. We have, however, closed transactions in as little as 30 days. Timing will depend on a variety of factors, including how quickly we receive the due diligence documentation from the seller and our vendors, whether a loan is secured by the underlying property and whether the telecom carrier has a right of first refusal or consent rights.

What documentation will I need to provide?
We will attach a checklist to the Letter of Intent specifying the items we need for our due diligence. These include complete copies of the Lease Agreements and any amendments, at least 3 months of rent checks (12 months is preferred), a current title report if available and information concerning any loans secured by the property. Depending on the structure of the deal, there may be additional documents we will request.

Can I use the proceeds from this transaction for a Section 1031 like-kind exchange?
You will need to consult your tax advisor. BLACKDOT is not qualified to provide tax advice. However, we are familiar with the like-kind exchange process and have assisted sellers in achieving their Section 1031 goals.

What is the meaning of BLACKDOT’s name?
At BLACKDOT, our name is our promise. Derived from an ancient Eastern philosophy, the teachings of the black dot value a disciplined awareness of the key objective. The “black dot focus” ensures the effectiveness of the end result. Visualize a black dot on a white background. This is symbolic of expanded awareness and at the same time, a razor-sharp focus on the objective. The challenge is to maintain attention on the black dot, without compromising awareness of factors and situations that could adversely hinder success. Our first objective is to identify the relevant black dot for each client. By executing focused solutions, we can achieve the highest returns and the best results for landowners.
