Question on buying a single tenant property that is vacant
My knowledge on commercial real estate is probably a 4 to a 5 on a 10 point scale. So sorry in advance if this is a simple answer.  

Question/Scenario: Looking at buying a single tenant property (Retail or Industrial) that is vacant. Is there a way for buying the property dependent (relying) on a tenant (that the buyer brings in) signing a lease? If so, what is the term for that?

The ideal scenario is buying a vacant property that is 20 years old. Bring in the tenant and sign the tenant at closing, or shortly after closing. Fix up the property to the tenant needs, etc. And have the new tenant's lease start 6-12 months after closing with the tenant improvements.

[{"id": "ckdocon", "text": "Yes, in most scenarios that is ideally what you would want to do as an investor. It's not always easy, as the timing can be hard to nail down. But you could make the purchase agreement conditional for a period of time on having a lease signed with a potential tenant. And, on the flip side, if you had a prospective tenant, you have a lease agreement conditional on closing on the purchase of the property.\n", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ckdq3ft", "text": "Don't be surprised if the Seller offers to sell an option rather than agrees to a lease with that contingency.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ckdsp59", "text": "You can negotiate anything you want into a P&amp;S, technically.
