.* understand delivery timelines, TI schedules, and general construction process/permitting for you and the end users.* have identified the most likely tenants for the development in question, and understand the building criteria each have for spaces.If you haven't answered "Yes" to each of the above, I would recommend pausing until you have the above nailed down.

Feel free to dm me if you want to schedule a chat. 

We only stop in quarterly for scheduled maintenance.If it wasn't on my daily route, I would probably drive by once a week and take a glance.

In my case, at the end of their lease when I wanted to show the property to prospective long term tenants, the tenant gave me all kinds of grief about 'invading her privacy' and 'disrupting her life' even though I told her at the beginning of the lease that this was our procedure and I made every attempt to 1) give 48 hr lead times, when typically I would only give 24, and 2) blocked/scheduled showings for 1 day per week and 1 weekend day away from dinner time/church times, etc. maybe this was just the person I was dealing with though...- vet the tenant exactly as you would for a normal tenant.

After that, schedule conversations with several lenders, coming to the table already knowing your price ceiling.

Three weeks in at the time of our scheduled call my Consultant texted me and said “I’m no longer with the company don’t contact me again”.

Having the space vacant relieves you of having those uncomfortable convos with your tenant, not being able to schedule showings at times convenient for a Buyer, etc. 

I hope that this helps somewhat, but feel free to schedule a time with me and we can go more into details.BTW,  I have a meetup in Irvine on 4/20 @ 10am (Pacific) in Irvine. 

If you go to my profile, there is a calendar link to schedule something, or you can just PM me. 

After not getting responses to schedule an inspection, I smelled smoke outside the door and went in to investigate.
