I am looking to find a formula to value a warehouse for sale. It’s offered at $285 a SF and is vacant. What rent would I have to receive to justify this price assuming a triple net lease.
Is there a formula to calculate the triple net.

The property is located in California

Businesses of all sizes are drawn to London. The capital is the global centre for many diverse industries and is full of attractive commercial property.

With a population of more than eight million and an eclectic mix of people and city offices, London has something to offer every firm. Moving offices or buying commercial property in London is sadly not as easy as one might hope, but with some expert knowledge and office relocation help, firms quickly enjoy its numerous opportunities.

Commercial property markets have struggled following recent international credit shortages. However, falling values have attracted numerous overseas buyers and some commercial property still retains a premium. The recent sale of Mayfair offices by Hermes Real Estate at a four per cent yield is a useful example.

Businesses looking to resize and move to new offices have to consider the cost of moving and the benefits of hiring office specialists to help. By employing an agent, a company can also continue driving its business forward, while an office relocation project manager takes care of the details.

Commercial property agents are best placed to understand these market developments. This ‘inside view’ could be of even greater help to companies moving to London for the first time. Experts say that commercial property agents can offer those looking for office space a number of key advantages.

When representing a tenant, they can be trusted to find a property at the right price – not necessarily one that the landlord is looking to achieve. Equally, the opportunity to harness the insider knowledge of commercial letting agents – who may know about good locations due to come onto the market, can give firms a head-start. Rather than simply scanning available office space and wasting time continually checking what is available, interested tenants can be alerted by those in the know.

The same grounding is also useful when it comes to the crunch. Commercial estate agents are aware of the market moves and will have their finger on the pulse when it comes to knowing what might be around the corner – will the location, for example, be set for major new transport links, like Stratford following the construction work done for the Olympic Games; or is the nearby Tube station set to close for the first six months of the commercial lease? With an understanding of the local area and the market conditions in what are changing times for the property market, an agent can help a tenant find the right space at the right price and make the new site or office relocation that much smoother.

Companies moving to London need first to decide where in the capital they want to be. London has excellent public transport connections, although even small companies looking for budget relocations should consider their choice of location carefully.

By using a commercial property expert, they can find a number of offices and benefit from specialist local knowledge.

New London mayor, Boris Johnson, has new plans to create more open spaces and waterways which investors hope will further add to the city’s qualities. The Times reported his planning advisor, Sir Simon Milton, saying Boris’s big theme is “quality of life”.

So whether it is in or out of work, companies planning office relocations can expect their staff to enjoy the best London has to offer.

looker asked:


I work with clients that I sign confidentiality agreements with. In my new office, the people nextdoor claim they can hear every word we say. They also complain constantly if the radio or music is playing. I brought this up to my landlord, that I cannot do business in this office unless they fix it. I gave them 30 days. They did not, g so I moved out, I can’t wait forever and I need to make money in my business. I sent a letter informing landlord that I would move out due to the lack of resolution to the problem. Now, they want to hold me responsible for the remainder of the lease. THey are now fixing the problem by adding another layer to the walls. Well, it’s too late, I moved out in order to continue with my business. They want to serve a 3 day notice for not paying rent. I know they can sue me for the life of the lease, but I can also sue for loss of money not being able to work in my office. any ideas?
The business is handling of information for paparazzi, celebrities etc.

I checked the building codes and a business must by default be soundproofed to at least 65 decibels. The wall between the 2 suites was recently constructed. Even we cannot hear any sound transfer from neighbours, they can hear us.

Equipment Leasing Overview

Equipment is a fundamental part of any business, whether small or large. It is with equipment that businesses render the services that they do. The quality and quantity of equipment a company uses, together with how the company deploys such equipment makes the difference between success and failure in a highly competitive economy.

When it comes to the hardware of a business, companies often prefer to go the extra mile to purchase equipment that will give them an edge in whatever industry they operate. While this quest for better machinery is laudable the methods in which it is obtained are not.

Purchasing equipment off manufacturers’ shelves is a decision most companies choose to take and they do so quite wrongly. In a business, the value of an asset is in its use and the value of that same asset depreciates with its use as well. Equipment is an asset, which satisfies this truth only too well, you buy some expensive piece of machinery, which looks good on your balance sheet, and in the next 4 years its value depreciates to nothing.

Equipment Leasing is the correct option as opposed to buying when your company needs equipment. Equipment is a tool that must be used to its maximum capacity to provide the service your business offers. In this light company should aim to save themselves the wanton waste of money that goes with purchasing equipment and should explore the benefits that come with leasing equipment instead.

Leasing equipment is not an aim at cutting corners or reducing the needed service quality delivered by a business. Equipment leasing is a proactive means of increasing your company’s cash flow that would otherwise be tied down if you considered the purchasing option. This cash flow could impact on other areas of your company’s business and improve your company’s balance sheet in the profit columns. Cash should not be tied down in a quickly depreciating asset such as bought equipment.

Benefits of Leasing

If you’re considering leasing equipment for your company rather than buying, you’re not alone. Statistics have it that over 80 percent of U.S based businesses lease their company equipment as opposed to buying, so you can remain rest assured that it’s a wise decision. To support this fact we offer you some of the financial benefits of commercial equipment leasing.

Financial Benefits of Leasing

These financial benefits of leasing cover how leasing helps your business improve its financing either by saving money or making more money for your company. The list is hardly exhaustive but the points examined here are the strongest and reflect the areas of finance that are most important to a business.

Increased Working Capital – With equipment leasing you save yourself the cost of buying the equipment outright. The money you save from purchasing the equipment can be deployed into other areas of the business. Obtaining a business equipment lease also preserves the line of credit you have from your bank as the financing you use to obtain the leased equipment is much lesser outright purchase. By saving this money you can improve your business edge with the right equipment, turn a better profit and not only retain your existing credit line with your bank but improve it as well.

Improved Balance Sheet – In business the balance sheet is an all too important area of determining performance, not only to your shareholders but also to people who provide major financing such as banks and prospective investors. This improvement comes in various areas: first of all business equipment leases are not recorded as liabilities and thus do not have a bearing on your capital figures. The second area covers the fact that a fixed equipment lease eliminates the need for depreciation, if you had purchased the equipment the cost of the equipment is written off according to use and affects your balance sheet calculations.

Tax-Related Advantages – With a commercial equipment lease your expenses are listed as direct operating expenses, which ultimately lead to a lower taxable income for yourself and your company. Another advantage that makes sense when you compare your leasing arrangement to a purchase is that if you had purchased the equipment, sales tax would then be applied and added to the costs accordingly. In some cases when you lease equipment, sales or use tax is then deducted according to the use of the leased equipment. Whatever the case you should consult with at tax professional to examine the benefits that apply to your company specifically in a lease situation.

Pro Bargain Hunter asked:


By the word “mortgage” We used to have begun only recently: a relatively new concept for the Russian practice. If the mortgage housing is becoming more common, the commercial real estate mortgages – has only sporadic cases.

Mortgage commercial real estate or commercial mortgage (mortgage business), is widespread throughout the world. Western experience shows that with sound operation of commercial real estate – rental of premises for offices, shops, business services – its yield is comparable to any other area of small business and allows the use of mortgage loans.

The essence and conditions of commercial mortgages

Mortgage loan is granted for the purchase of non-residential premises: warehouse, office, etc. The meaning of the mortgage is to lend the purchase of commercial real estate under the same pledge. In contrast, housing loans, commercial mortgages are short term loan, but rather high interest rates.

Typically, the annual rates of commercial real estate mortgage loans range from 12 to 16%, mainly in the currency. The term of the mortgage real estate – a maximum of 10-12 years and the most common term – 5 years. Borrower must make an initial contribution of 25-40% of the value of real estate. In doing so, the client must be profitable and a minimum balance of the year on the market.

The legal nuances of commercial mortgage loan

The scheme of the commercial mortgage is similar to non-residential mortgage housing: there are the same procedures for assessing the borrower and the facility, the requirement of the initial deposit. But there is a fundamental difference – the law does not allow companies to draw up a mortgage on the property until the conclusion of the sale. The object must first acquire and then you can pledge to get the money.

An important legal aspect of commercial mortgages – the registration of ownership of non-residential premises, while mortgage encumbrance Federal law does not provide. The Treaty on mortgage commercial real estate is subject to general rules of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the conclusion of treaties, as well as the Federal Law “On Mortgage (mortgage). According to paragraph 1 of article 9 of the federal law in the contract of mortgage must be given to mortgage his assessment of substance, size and term of the obligation secured by a mortgage.

Who will benefit from the commercial mortgage?

Participants in the commercial mortgage market agree that the development of the mortgage business is constrained primarily loopholes in the law. However, it is not clear, and someone who will be the borrower, what is its quality. Reliable stable companies can take to acquire an ordinary commercial real estate loans on bail of any property, they do not particularly need a mortgage. And if the company has no collateral or banks do not consider it possible to give her credit based on the evaluation of such a company – why would need a mortgage borrower?

It is for this reason that Russia mortgage commercial real estate still is, essentially, for large companies. For small businesses do not have sufficient collateral. On the specific risks of small businesses overlap problem opaque commercial real estate market.

Commercial Mortgage Scheme

So, the existing legislation in respect of the mortgage business is not perfect. It defines and possible arrangements for the mortgage lending business. According to the law “On mortgage” for commercial real estate, as opposed to living quarters, is an entirely different mechanism of registration and registration of collateral. Therefore, the market has developed a number of ways to carry out this kind of transactions, enabling them under current legislation.

Scheme I

The conclusion of the sales contract. The seller receives a portion of their funds from the buyer, as well as the guarantee of a bank. Then the registration of ownership of the new buyer. Further, the registration of a collateral agreement, followed by the issuance of credit and final settlement. This scheme experts called the most complex and lengthy.

Scheme II

The buyer pays for pre-contract owner (the seller) of its own funds, and the seller receives from the Bank’s obligation to pay the missing funds in the event of registration of mortgage. Followed by registration of collateral on a bank and registration of all documents on the transfer of ownership of the new owner, that is, the buyer (the conclusion of a contract of sale), after which the seller receives the full amount, but registration is taking its course.

Scheme III

Realtors latest scheme called “Ransom entity.” A company, which is made out of real estate object (entity). Then the borrower to buy shares of the company by paying the loan. In doing so, the company arranged for the property.

Leasing – an alternative to commercial mortgages

According to experts, a good alternative business imperfect until the mortgage can become a commercial real estate leasing. In this case, the leasing organization – an analogue of a cooperative – gives credit for the purchase of the property and is the owner of the facility until the loan is not repaid. One of the advantages of leasing is that his arrangements clearly stated in the legislation. On the other hand, in case of bankruptcy leasing organization all of its property may depart for the debts of third parties, such as banks.

In any case, the risk is unavoidable. Banking experts advise entrepreneurs themselves to influence the terms of lending. According to most experts, the most urgent problem hindering the development of commercial mortgages, the low culture of the financing of small businesses. Mortgage becomes reality when the small business “Light”. The lower the tax culture of small business, the worse the conditions of mortgage lending for the same – the withdrawal of real market-mortgage business.

I just leased a Ford Escape, a great SUV, but . . .
When I lost the signal for my Sirius radio, a message came up on the screen, “ACCQUIRING SIGNAL.” I had to take a double take to make sure I was seeing what I thought. To make matters worse, my son brought home a book from the library by Rachael Ray, Cooking Rocks! Rachael Ray’s 30-Minute Meals for Kids. In it is an illustration about potatoes. The caption has the word potatoe!!??
My wife complains that I am too critical. What kind of misspellings have you found in “commercial” applications and, more importantly, am I too critical for pointing them out?
