I'm currently under contract on a smaller, 5-unit commercial office/retail property. 4 of the 5 leases expire in April/May of this year, and one of the contingencies of the sale closing is that 3 of those 4 soon-expiring leases renew for at least one year (I have full negotiating power over those leases).All of those tenants have showed no intention to vacate, and are happy with their current situations.I've seen/read in many places that it is best practice to stagger leases as much as possible in order to avoid the possibility of multiple tenants moving out around the same time, leaving numerous units to be turned over.Would it best for me to try and get 2 of the 4 tenants to renew a two-year lease (which they've done in past) and the other two tenants agree to a one-year or three-year lease (both have been year-to-year in past ).

@Phillip Weickert Phil is great and owns numerous rentals himself.  

This will become more important with numerous LLCs.I know this is a question for a CPA and/or lawyer, but figured that others are likely wondering too.

These are all questions that could lead to numerous different answers.

Also, do you have an agent or agents that will submit these numerous low-ball offers?

This HAS become a business ranter quickly and appfolio / buildium / etc are going to have to replace cozy sooner than later for numerous reasons.

There are numerous investors who thrive in that market, but it definitely has been hard to buy out the tenants in Boyle Heights because of this backlash from the original pre-gentrified residents.

The other tenant has been there years and will be evicted for numerous reasons that the previous owner did not care to address.I plan to fix up the property over the next few months and renew the existing tenant to a higher, 1-year lease and then search for a new tenant at market rate.Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I'd like some advice on where to start with a new thorough lease and forms to use since I want to secure a new lease with the existing tenant and will need to screen for a new tenant once I evict and renovate the other unit.I am considering to join the California Apart.

My broker at the time owned numerous commercial properties and agreed to show me the ropes and I quickly realized it was the career I had been searching for. 

@Joe Splitrock We did TSP wash the walls before painting, but even after the wash and rinse they looked dingy; the smoke damage wasn't as visible but the walls looked really sad (sort of looked like the wall by my 4 year old's bed, which I have washed numerous times).
