Commercial Tenant Interview Questions

[Eric Weireter]

I have an owner client (of my property management services) who is in the due diligence period for purchasing a 55k sq. ft. multi-tenant Class B property in downtown Raleigh. Next week, are the tenant interviews and I have been asked to assist. What are some questions you ask during your tenant interviews? 

I know that I will obtain the property management contract for the building if the owner proceeds with the purchase, so not only are these interviews meant to be beneficial for the owner - I hope to learn about the tenants and/or some of the issues that I would be walking into as the property manager.
