Thank you for your support!In this episode, I’m joined by Dan, who’s diving deep into the often-overlooked details that can make or break a commercial lease deal. Dan explains why options in leases might not be as beneficial as they seem—especially from a landlord's perspective. While tenants might love the flexibility, landlords could be left vulnerable if the tenant decides to walk away. 😬Dan also highlights the critical importance of knowing exactly who is signing the lease. Is it a corporate giant or a small LLC with minimal assets? The difference could impact your financial security in a big way. And when it comes to personal guarantees, Dan stresses the need to understand the tenant’s net worth and verify it with proper documentation.Lastly, we explore the intricacies of lease structures—whether it’s an absolute triple net lease or something more complex. Who’s responsible for HVAC repairs or replacements? These details can drastically affect your bottom line, so negotiating them wisely is key.Have you encountered any hidden risks in your commercial leases?
