Trying to lease space - Why are brokers ignoring me?

[{"id": "g5lun7z", "text": "It probably varies widely by area but $35k is not enough to commit to a multi year lease and build out the space, carry the initial losses while getting started, etc.\n\nIn my area the damage deposit alone would be $15k+ for this kind of square footage.\n\nIs this retail or what are you doing with the space? Building it out can be easily $50k-$300k or more depending on the purpose and finishings.\n\nMy guess is the broker doesn\u2019t think the landlord will approve based on finances.  They usually want a personal guarantee.  Do you have property or something else to give them added security that you will make rent?\n\nWould not contact the landlord, to answer that question.", "replies": [{"id": "g5lw9ip", "text": "The space is already built out for it, pretty much turn-key retail space. Most likely going to cost just an extra 10k to get everything else done. \n\nIn person ,I agreed to a personal guarantee, told them I own the property of my other store and would offer that as collateral.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
