Upstate NY Real Estate Poughkeepsie Partners $($PP$)$ owns a number of commercial properties in suburban towns north and west of New York City. The firm previously rented one property to a department store renowned for jewelry and fine china. The department store vacated the property two years ago. This occurred despite the fact that the tenant broke a ten$-$year lease after only three years of occupancy and subsequently filed for bankruptcy. PP viewed any effort to recover early lease termination penalties a waste of time and money. Interest expense, high real estate taxes, insurance, and security costs make it extremely expensive to hold vacant property in this area. Although PP is eager to find a new tenant, it does not want another unexpected vacancy to have a serious negative effect on its investment returns. PP wants to be as sure as possible that the new tenant will be financially stable and will be likely stay for at least the full term of the lease. Mission Furniture, a well$-$known furniture chain that targets affluent customers with traditional tastes, has expressed interest in your open store location.
