Assuming I decide to purchase a generic commerical building, and want to find a Starbucks or Blockbuster to lease it from me. How do I find the best tenants? Where can I read about finding them? For example, do I write them letters ? Do people write to Blockbuster directly and say, hey, we need one of your stores in this area, and I have the right building for you??

Or do property leasees congregate on certain websites? The only places I've seen properties listed are CCIM. How else do those companies find their next location? Or do they all work with agents who find the locations for them? If so, how do I find these agents?

Gratefully,
Marlene

Hmmm. No response.

Are most TCI users focused on residential rentals and not rentals to businesses?

Hi Marlene,

Most shopping center tenants have acquisitions persons in-house whose job it is to look for locations. However most of those people work with established brokerages most of the time.

There is a shopping center trade show every year, last I heard they were holding it in Los Vegas. But the group that sponsors it must have a trade journal.

This is a very numbers driven game. They want to know about demographics in 5, 15 and 50 mile radius (depending on the kind of store), traffic counts, etc.

Thank you for your response, commercialking. I found a bunch of commercial brokerages by going to a search engine after reading your comment.

Merci!
Marlene

Piggybacking off this question, what is the difference between nnn and nn lease? Looking at a Post Office Purchase.

Back to my question about finding a good NNN tenant (I refuse to give up

Am I correct in thinking that a lessor like Blockbuster is a better NNN tenant than a restaurant, for example, because Blockbuster simply needs an generic space, and a restaurant will alter the space for a kitchen, a drive up window, etc.?

Your help is appreciated.

Yes, to some extent that is true. On the other hand the resturant is likely to pay for all that special equipment which may become additional collateral on the lease and make it possible for you to get higher rent.
