Hmmm...interesting concept. I'm not sure I would do it at 8%. Personally, I'd much rather get that kind of return from a bond, and the government is a creditor of a much higher credit rating. I wonder how much they would buy them back for after 5 years; would the value have appreciated?

I think it is a clever way for the sellor/ lessor to get back their capital to do other projects with...a kind of 5 year loan at 8%. I realize I don't have all the details, but with the little info here, it looks to me like a win situation for the seller/ lessor and a place to park money for someone who hasn't thought of other investment options.

But that 8% surely...

Some more details..

1. The buy back after five years, is at "Original Price", which means, they will buy it back at what you bought at 5 years ago...
2. "Guaranteed" interest is noted as follows;

- The 8% is Net yield years 1 & 2
- 10% projected for years 3 & 4
- 12% projected for years 5 & 6
(After all costs)..


- On quick research, I find the claim to have done similar concept at Glasgow International Airport (UK), with car parks running at "near" 100% occupancy.
