1) You consider buying an investment commercial property in New York. This property is 100% occupied and has three tenants, whose leases have 10 years remaining until the end of the lease term. 1^st tenant occupies 5,000 SF and pays the gross rent of $30 per square foot (PSF). 2^nd tenant occupies 3,000 SF, paying the gross rent of $31 PSF. 3^rd tenant occupies 2,000 SF, paying the gross rent of 28 PSF. All three tenants have 3% annual increase in the gross rent. However, the future expenses (i.e. insurance, tax and CAM charges) are expected to increase 5% annually. During the due diligence, youve found out that the building requires an annual payment of $8,000 insurance, $65,000 property tax, and $13,500 common area maintenance (CAM) expenses.
