Example 1: Standard Scenario

Input: Analyze a 50,000 SF office building acquisition in downtown Chicago, $15M asking price Output: Property Analysis:

Property Details:

• Size: 50,000 SF office (Class A)
• Year Built: 2015

• Tenants: 8 tenants (diversified)
• NOI: $1,850,000

Financial Model:

Market Analysis:

Example 2: Edge Case

Input: Handle a tenant bankruptcy mid-lease with 4 years remaining, $200K annual rent Output: Immediate Actions:

1. Document everything:

   • Proof of claim filed with bankruptcy court
   • Security deposit identified and secured
   • Lease terms reviewed for ipso facto clauses

2. Assess situation:

   • Tenant: Major law firm (50 employees)
   • Reason: Partner departure cascade
   • Lease: $200K/year, 4 years remaining
   • Letter of credit: $400K (2 years)

3. Options analysis: A. Continue lease with trustee (assume/reject decision in 60 days) B. Negotiate early termination (release space faster) C. Compete for their sublease (if they assume and sublet)

4. Strategy:

   • Engage restructuring attorney immediately
   • Begin marketing space quietly
   • Qualify prospective tenants

5. Outcome: Negotiated early termination for $100K + release clause
