Author Topic: Digital Projection leasing? Thoughts? Julius Alan Vichinsky Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Postfalls, ID. Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-08-2012 07:13 PM                        I am considering the change over but the large scale investment is too much. Any thoughts about leasing the equipment?  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-10-2012 12:08 AM                     Depends, is it a straight lease, or lease to own. What are the tax advantages ie lease payments vs interest payments.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-10-2012 12:59 AM                     If you're first run, maybe you can tag a VPF contract, then you would have a chance of tagging a lease deal. If not, it's a straight cash purchase, or do a re-fi to use the equitity of your property for equipment purchases...or find an investor to borrow money from for the purchase.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-10-2012 10:11 AM                        "Buy that which appreciates; lease that which depreciates."

Prob why now it seems the norm to lease a new vehicle - things lose so much value in the first three years where you're just making the lease payments on the depreciation...and nothing on principle.
