In this episode of the M&A Launchpad Podcast, Casey Minshew sits down with Tyrell McGee, a commercial real estate expert specializing in sale-leaseback transactions. Ty shares how investors use real estate as a strategic tool to unlock capital, solve financing challenges, and accelerate growth.

This conversation breaks down how sale-leasebacks work, when they make sense, and how operators, searchers, and private equity firms use them in real deals. From credit and EBITDA thresholds to lease structure and long-term risk, this episode gives a clear, practical look at one of the most powerful tools in M&A.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What a sale-leaseback is and how it works in M&A
  • How investors use real estate equity to fund acquisitions and growth
  • A real-world example of solving a debt maturity using a sale-leaseback
  • Minimum EBITDA and deal size thresholds that make deals viable
  • How credit quality and operator strength impact deal structure
  • The role of market rent and how lease rates are determined
  • Risks of long-term lease obligations and overburdening the business
  • When sale-leasebacks make sense for searchers vs private equity sponsors
  • How to think about real estate as a strategic lever in acquisitions
