Key Takeaways:

“The more I’ve grown in the sales team, the more I’ve been able to grow what I do in the investing ones.” – Dan Lesniak  

“We’ve got some tough laws around that [having tenants move]. We typically won’t buy it or we’ll put a contingency in there that protects us from buying it if the current owner doesn’t deliver it vacant. We typically want them to be vacant with the tenants signing away their TOPA (Tenant Opportunity Purchase Act) rights. So the tenants have first to write a refusal which they can kind of use to drag out the process for a year or two. We won’t buy it unless that has been taken care of, typically, and it’s vacant.” – Dan Lesniak  

“We are holding on to some [properties], strategically. It just depends on how the sales are going and what we think the rents and prices might be in two to five years from now.” – Dan Lesniak
