Steamrolling through properties
My client’s business is poised to sell in the next five years so He’s looking for a lease with purchase option. A colleague had his business sold and when he tried to move the new business in the landlord wanted a bunch more money and the right to review the financials of the incoming management team, so he imparted to me how important it was to get a purchase option price set in stone before a long-term lease is signed.

If you look on commercial real estate databases, only the real bottom tier properties will advertise that they will entertain a purchase option either for a price or first right refusal or Some sort of seller financing when an event is triggered. Is there a way to isolate which properties would be interested in even entertaining the idea of a purchase option when looking at commercial property without having to call every broker in town?

Almost no one would do a purchase option and a price 5 years out, unless they were really desperate or the purchase option price was stupid high.  And what happens if the owner wants to sell in 2 years.  Then the new owner would have to agree to the purchase option.  Huge mess.\n\nWhey doesn't he just ask for a longer option.  Say 5 year lease with two 5 year options transferable if business sells.  Boom, now if owner sells in 5 years the new owner still has 10 years before having to worry about negotiating.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "friie3a", "text": "Is this same as Master lease with option to purchase? Are there capital gains benefits to seller. I want to understand their motivation and provide solutions if possible....", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
