Before signing a commercial property lease

Dear Property Manager:

My best friend has decided to open a preschool in the Concord, (North Carolina) area and I am considering going into a partnership with her. We have both owned our own businesses before, but never leased a space. We have looked at several locations together but haven’t made any decisions. My biggest concern is just not knowing enough about commercial leases. What do we need to do before we sign? Does Kuester have any available properties in Concord?

Thank you so much for your help.

Sheryl J. Concord, NC

Hi Sheryl,

There are several things you need to know before signing a commercial lease, yet the biggest thing is to review the lease thoroughly. Read it, review with your attorney, and ask any questions, and get clarification before committing. Below are some of the most important points:

1) Before reviewing the agreement, make sure that you are listed properly as one of the parties. Many do not look closely at this, yet it could cause a huge headache later on. Also remember, to avoid liability, if the company is a corporation or an LLC, the company name (not your personal name), should be what appears on the lease.

2) Discuss the length and rent. Note when the property owner will be raising the rent and negotiate the terms to where you & your partner feel comfortable. Just because it is written on the lease, does not mean you won’t be able to make some modifications in your negotiations.

3) Evaluate the security clause carefully and ask who is responsible for securing the premises, if there is a security system (or can one be installed), and if the landlord has access to the leased space, (and under what conditions).

Best of luck and yes, we do have properties in your area that would suit your needs well. You can find all of our commercial property listings, in Concord, Boone, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte, and Fort Mill at http://www.kuester.com/properties/.

Commercial Real Estate Property Management

Dear Property Manager:

I own a small commercial property in Boone and need to hire a property management company to handle the daily upkeep and maintenance, as this quite a distance from my Charlotte home. What are the main responsibilities of a property manager, or management company? And is it appropriate to ask for references?

Alex K

Dear Alex:

In commercial real estate property management, the property manager (or the management company) is responsible for the marketing of the property, the tenant's satisfaction and occupancy (keeping it filled), administration and the facilities, and managing the financials.

The goal of a commercial property is ultimately to make money and the property manager, or property management company is the owner’s partner in making this happen. You should choose a company that can show strength in finances, as well as success in marketing, and references from current and past clients. Look at references especially from properties similar to the size and location of yours.

After completely looking into references and capabilities you should choose a property management company with whom you will work well, and whom you trust to represent you.

Choosing to hire a professional property management company is a benefit, and good financial decision for many commercial property owners.

Should I Buy a Commercial Property?

Dear Property Manager,

I have been considering purchasing a building for my web development business. Currently we rent our space, but it seems like a good time to buy and stop having to pay rent, and maybe rent out a little space and make some money as well.

Would this be a good decision? I don’t know anything about commercial real estate in the Boone area where we are now.

Chris K. Boone, NC

Dear Chris:

Many people have wondered if owning their own business location would be a good idea. The answer depends a lot on your business and financial situation, and also on your willingness to handle the responsibilities of property ownership in addition to running your business. Interest rates at near historic lows, and property costs also low, creating an opportunity for savvy entrepreneurs.

Owning your commercial property location does offer many benefits. As you pay each mortgage payment, you'll build equity –instead of having it go to rent you will never get back. And if the property value appreciates, you could make a significant amount of money when you go to sell. Since you will be the landlord, you will have control over the space – giving you the freedom to do any build-outs you wish, paint the walls purple to match your company logo, or add an employee’s lounge/patio out back! You could even decide to lease un-used space to tenants, creating an additional revenue stream.

Additionally, as the owner of your commercial property, you can make maintenance repairs on your own schedule and you won’t have to worry about rent going up next year, and the year after!

To buy your property you will probably need 20% of the value in cash. If there are tenants already in the space, you will need copies of their signed leased for the lender, and insurance against damage or loss. You will also want to consult your attorney and accountant before making any decisions. There are serious financial, legal and tax implications associated with commercial property ownership.Before finalizing your decision to buy, consider your cash situation, not only for the down payment and the mortgage payments, but for any needed repairs, maintenance or upgrades that will need to be done. Also consider what you will do if your own business outgrows the space: Will you be able to rent it and move into a bigger building? Is the location a good one for future tenants?

It is a buyer’s market, and no might be a great time to buy your commercial property. But before you take that leap, weigh all the pros and cons, and make the best decision for you and your business.
