In 2018 some of the larger investment grade-rated companies are going to be more open to selling their real estate because rent is still 100% deductible. It doesn’t affect their leverage ratios on EBITA. Also with the tax bill, with the corporate tax rate going down, a company can sell property and only pay a 20% pass-through rate, explains Kunofsky.
