If you haven't signed the lease, nothing is too late.

Keep in mind that if you balk now, the tenant may leave. Is that a gamble you'd want to take?

What is your prior experience leasing space?

I would lease first before committing to buy office condo is one of the worst as a profitable investment. The HOA will run your life, sink your P&L, and generally exert control over everything.

I think Henry Clark on here provides enough free information. If you actually do the underwriting, talk to people who this, hire a team, you don't need to pay a guru.

You start small, learn by doing.

paid parking is definitely a niche, Kevin Bupp buys these. We do truck parking, similar concept.

@Ronald Rohde thanks a lot for the advice.  


 You're welcome. It definitely can be done, but it takes more time and more investment per deal to hit $500k fees.

Its also a much, much smaller network. If you burn a seller, there's a 50% higher chance either he owns something else you're offering on or he knows the seller or his attorney knows the other attorney, broker knows about your past deal, etc.

what does your lease say about re-measurement rights? are you past that window? what do you pay for rent? what is the monthly delta?


 Our lease doesn't say anything about re-measurement and therefore there is no window. The landlord simply refuses to accept our comments and just says "well you signed a lease to pay X$ per month." It's clear they are not willing to even talk about it and we would have to make a big issue of it - threaten to pull out of the lease or bring in lawyers, and that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense because it will just make our lives hell and cause our business to suffer. I guess they know that. The difference would be $6,800/year with a 3% increase over 5 years. 


 Yeah, pretty minor so just keep it in reserve when its time to renew.

@Evan Polaski, I appreciate your feedback and agree with you. Right now I am focusing on building a strong buyers list before I really hit the ground running on marketing for sellers. This way I'm aware of the end buyers buy box before I go locking up contracts with sellers. 


 I dont even think a buyers list is what you need. You need strong underwriting first to know what is a good deal.
