DON’T SIGN THAT COMMERCIAL L.O.I. YET! 🛑📉
First-time commercial buyers are getting crushed right now because they treat a $2 Million building like a $400k house. If you don't know your NOI (Net Operating Income) from your elbow, you're bound to overpay by six figures.
Here are the 3 "Silent Killers" of commercial deals you need to bypass:
⚠️ Trap 1: Anchor Pricing. The asking price is just a wish. If you don't run your own comps, you’re negotiating against a ghost.
⚠️ Trap 2: The Surface Inspection. If you aren't thoroughly auditing the HVAC and the roof, you aren't buying an asset—you're buying a massive liability.
⚠️ Trap 3: The Weak LOI. If your Letter of Intent doesn't include a bulletproof "due diligence" exit clause, you are trapped. Flip the script. Anchor your price on real data, demand a full audit, and protect your capital.
