Quote from @Brad Johnson:

Curious to what market demand might be for a smaller office/flex space next too a bunch to contractor condos? Would seem like a good opportunity for a rentable space for contractors to meet clients or would it be better to look for a longer term lease? 

I’m a commercial agent in the Salt Lake area. I’d echo what Henry has already said. What our market needs is more smaller warehouse and flex
spaces. Think 2,500 SF or less. I’m tracking about 400,000 SF worth of new developments in Utah County that will all have units of that size and they’re filling up fast. 

I listed a 1,300 SF warehouse space in Orem for lease a few weeks ago, and got a dozen calls in the first two hours and it was a literal race among the interested tenants to get to the unit first. At the time, it was the only space less than 2,000 SF that was available in the entire county. 

Feel free to DM me and I’d be happy to chat more or answer any questions. 

Hey @Cason Acor in your experience do the tenants want a small bathroom?  


 most code will require it

Quote from @Evan Polaski:

@Cornelius Amos, if the property has a mortgage on it, it may not be allowed.  Most of my commercial experience is in multi-tenant retail, and all had mortgages.  There were specific mortgage covenants that did not allow for the collection of more than one month of rent in advance.  Way to protect bank from landlord taking a huge chunk of cash and abandoning property.

In your post you mention rent and other expenses.  Insurance and taxes are not uncommon for national tenants to reimburse when the actual bill is issued, versus escrow monthly like the mom and pops, but in my experiences, any tenant paying a year of rent up front is not common.


 To be technical, you can transfer the funds into an escrow account that isn't "receiving funds in advance" the bank/lender is happy to accommodate that.

commercial is not a monolith, pick an asset class and a market first.

Vacant restaurant is not worth anything if you don't have a tenant/business to place.
