Lease Office Space
Got an idle property in a hot location that's
merely collecting cobwebs and dust? Then perhaps, you would want to
monetize the same by making it earn some residual income in the form
of rent. If your idle property is situated in a commercial district
bustling with business, you could lease office space to some
emergent companies looking to position themselves in such an
encouraging environment.
Indeed, this option would be better. Your property would provide for
you an income stream until such time when you want to permanently
liquidate it for some other purpose. It doesn't have to remain idle
for the time being. It could actually become a very profitable cash
cow for you and your family.
Now, the question is: where, exactly, can you advertise your
decision to lease office space?
There are many channels available for you when it comes to this
goal. Some are free, others you have to pay for. Ultimately, the
choice of which channel to take would depend on your preference and
your budget. Let's take a look at these channels.
* Print ads. You could list down the publications catering to your
target market. Whether you want to target established companies,
small businesses or casual marketers, there is sure to be a
publication that caters to them. Advertising costs differ, of
course, depending on the print run of the publication and the size
and format of the ad you want to include. Print ads are one of the
best ways to market whenever you want to lease office space.
* Classifieds in your local dailies. Since every locale has a
dedicated newspaper, it would be wise to advertise in its
classifieds section to garner highly targeted responses. Most local
dailies have web presence as well, and your ad can easily be carried
over to the internet.
* Hire a real estate broker. If you do not wish to go through the
inconvenience of finding some clients, you can hire a broker to do
the dirty work for you. Different brokers demand different
compensation. Some ask for a flat fee. Others require a commission
based on the price involved. A few will not charge you at all,
rather, they'd place their own markup on the property you want to
lease out.
Whenever you want to lease office space, you must express your terms
and conditions in writing. This will serve as a contract contingent
on the acceptance of the lease agreement. Make sure that everything
you could put down that would ensure the preservation of your
property would be included in these terms and conditions.
