A 1031 buyer on a deadline needed a fast read on a multi-tenant retail strip. We cross-checked every lease against public records and tenant filings.

Two anchor-adjacent tenants were month-to-month rather than on long-term leases as marketed. Re-priced for the real risk, the deal still cleared — a Proceed at a lower number.

Key Highlights:

A buyer brought us a multi-tenant retail strip where the rent roll told a cleaner story than the leases did. We reconciled every line before pricing.


  • Rent roll reconciled against leases, estoppels, and public records

  • Month-to-month and below-market tenants flagged

  • Reimbursements and recoveries verified tenant by tenant

  • Income re-based on contracted, collectible rent

  • Income re-based on contracted, collectible rent

Challenges

Two tenants carried lease terms on the rent roll that the recorded documents didn’t support — enough to move the income, and the price.


Key Challenge Points:


  • Two overstated lease terms versus public records

  • Stated rents above what the leases actually contracted

  • Reimbursement income credited beyond the lease language

Results

After correcting the rent roll to real contracted income, the deal still penciled — at a lower basis. We returned a Proceed, repriced to the verified cash flow.


Results:


  • 2 overstated lease terms corrected

  • Income re-based to verified, contracted rent

  • Purchase price renegotiated to the real number

  • Verdict: Proceed, after re-pricing
