This is part 2 of who buys leasehold properties. Not only investors but buyers who want the quality of life and not too invested in the investment of real estate. In Hawaii, many buyers would love to retire, have a vacation home, or be in a home that is more superior than what they can find in the fee simple or freehold market. As it is drastically less to own a leasehold property versus a fee simple, however, the quality of life at a much lower expense may be more beneficial for this type of buyer.
