Dealing With Operating Expense Cost-Pass-Through for an Overland Park Office Space

Basic cost-pass-through information: Make sure you know whether the starting point for your lease is an expense stop or an operating expense cost-pass-through, and what calculation method is the norm for your market.  Depending on your area’s market, the base year for your cost-pass-through could either be the first year of your lease or the current year, and either the calendar year or fiscal year.  Your lease might include an expense stop that stipulates that you pay for any costs above a certain point—if this is the case do a little research to make sure that your expense stop is current so you do not get stuck paying any unexpected additional fees.

Cost-pass-through protection:  Operating costs for a partially occupied building are significantly less than for a full building, so you will want to factor this into your lease writing if you are moving into a new or partially occupied building.  Add a little protection to the cost-pass-through provision in your lease by requiring your landlord to base the calculation of your annual cost-pass-through on a 90% or 95% occupied building.  A provision like this will protect your business in the event that you move into a building that takes a while to lease up.

10 Commercial Real Estate Kansas City Loan Mistakes Part II

If your business needs a loan to help cover the cost of your office space lease in Overland Park, you will want to avoid some of these common mistakes that businesses make when applying for commercial real estate loans:

  1. Failing to review your balance sheet.  Before you take out a loan, be sure to review your balance sheet and analyze your liabilities and cash flow to confirm that you will still have enough funds to run your property properly while you are paying off the loan.
  2. Not negotiating the best deal.  In order to make sure that your business gets the best deal, you will want to make sure that you have a competent real estate attorney to help you with the fine print of a commercial real estate loan offer.
  3. Opting for a familiar lender.  While it is good to establish a rapport with a lender, especially when you need a loan, you should first check out some of the other possibilities, since new real estate products are constantly being offered.
  4. Not looking into an SBA loan.  It might be a good idea to first check with the Small Business Administration to see if they can help you obtain any loans or find out what advice they might have to offer.
  5. Not being organized.  Make sure that you have ready any necessary documents that a lender will expect to see, and be ready to show why the rental of the property makes fiscal sense.

Doing your homework before applying for a loan could save you from pitfalls like these!
