If they want to pay to have it monitored they can.

On multiple tenant properties, somebody needs to monitor Common Area Maintenance issues.

I have no idea haha, but I'm monitoring this topic just so I can see what responses you get.It seems that the one great thing in this deal is the sellers only owing 12K so at least that is easier to work with.

I'll keep monitoring but not try to get involved and see if they can work something out.

If you choose to invest in a market distant from your own it may be very advisable to find a trustworthy local partner or property manager who can help you monitor your investments, at least until you become expert in that market yourself.

yep u can propose a contingency/rider that allows u to exit before lease terminates if your business fails during the lease term however it reduces chances of the PM/owner taking it seriously as they would then have to monitor ur monthly revenues (something many commercial owners do anyway in order to assess royalties due) or proof of lack thereof

We installed an alarm system - we own the equipment and don't have a contract, so when a future tenant moves in (hopefully these tenants will stay a while), we'll pay for the monitoring month to month as long as it's vacant.Yes, it was a $600 investment in the equipment, but the pipe theft cost us over $1700 and we had no insurance for theft.

That way more people would monitor the property and crime issues might decrease or legit business might increase.

this is actually something I was wondering my self I will be monitoring this so see what solutions become of it.

Now you can choose more efficient LED, CFL, Halogen lighting and LED TV's and monitors.
