For owners of LA tennis estates, the choice isn’t always sell or hold. In today’s market, leasing can deliver six-figure monthly income while preserving long-term appreciation.

The Range
Not every estate is a six-figure rental. Properties in the lower Flats that need cosmetic updates may trade closer to $25,000/month. The $100K+ leases? Those are usually estates with:
-
Larger square footage
-
Guest houses or dual wings
-
Recently updated finishes
-
Aesthetic landscaping and pool environments
The Math
-
A $30M estate in BHPO may lease for nearly $1.1M annually.
-
Even a $16.5M Beverly Hills Flats property can generate $680K+ per year.
-
For some owners, that’s better than liquidating — especially if they believe trophy land values will keep climbing.
Why Owners Choose Leasing
-
Discretion: Keeps the estate out of MLS while still monetizing.
-
Flexibility: Pause leasing if you decide to sell.
-
Cash flow: Six-figure income offsets carrying costs.
The Seller’s Advantage
When estates do sell, scarcity ensures they often trade at premiums. Leasing can bridge the gap, but selling captures today’s liquidity. The right choice depends on timing, tax strategy, and personal goals.
