by Andrea Davis, CCIM
When it comes to leasing commercial real estate, the landlord is the seasoned pro and you, the typical business owner, are a rank amateur. If you’re a small business owner, doctor, lawyer, dentist, mortgage lender, dance studio owner, or entrepreneur and you treat leasing office or warehouse space like you’re renting an apartment, you are courting disaster. The problem is, you don’t know what you don’t know until it’s too late.

Presented in layperson’s language that respects your intelligence, this book is packed with money-saving tips for finding the perfect location, negotiating favorable terms, and protecting your long-term interests. Every chapter offers practical, proven money-saving tips and shows you how to do the often complex commercial real estate math—step by step.

You will learn how to:
