Is it safe to invest in a ground leased property?

Investing in ground lease is very safe because the buyer owns the land for ever. Ground Lease is described as a long-term lease of the land. After the lease expires, the land with all the improvements, buildings and other structures will be restored to the owner. A ground lease arrangement with a sophisticated tenant can result in development of the land in such a way as to maximize its potential and provide the landlord with a stream of rental income. Landlord may benefit from the anticipated appreciation in the land after the tenant builds improvements on the land. Since the landlord maintains ownership of the land, the landlord can pass on the appreciated value of the land to his estate or his heirs at his death.
