What information do I need to get before buying a commercial prop

[Cory Sparks]

I am helping someone out that is looking to buy a commercial property. It is a strip mall with about 14 units with a cap rate of 8.37%. I am doing all the calling around to get all the numbers. I will be a property manager for him once he buys something. I have never bought a commercial property and don't know what information I need to get to relay to my buyer. Anything helps, thanks in advance.

There's a few phases - 

For info for buying, you'll need Leases and terms, breakdown of costs (what is tenants responsibilities and what is landlords), breakdown of CAM (Common Area Maintenance), each units price per square foot, tenants revenue to rent ratio

Once you go into due diligence, you'll need balance sheets, surveys, P&L, and tenants' sales reports for two years. lease docs and amendments including any statement regarding oral agreements, tenant estoppel agreeing with what you've been given, any open permits or zoning issues, environmental reports (don't want to find out later an old gas station or laundromat was there before), owners current budget, a complete list of all property stating who owns what and who is responsible for the care.
