When signing on to lease the property back from the current business owner, how do you typically negotiate and write up the lease? Primarily through your lawyer? Do you bring in a local CRE broker? How long do you want to lock yourself in for on the leaseback deal?

I advise on these daily, as a CRE pro.

You'll want to understand your options, then the structure.

- Sale/leaseback
- Purchase with SBA financing
- Lease with current owner

All of those are options, with various market considerations. DM if you'd like me to take a look.

Feel free to message me privately. Happy to chat further. My one piece of advice, if only leasing, try your best to obtain an option to purchase. You may not exercise the option, but there might be a time to exercise it and “flip” via sale-leaseback
