  • Failing to have enough cash on hand to cover expenses tied to the transaction and any unexpected necessities.
  • Failing to consider any potential zoning issues or not waiting for zoning issues to be addressed before finalizing the transaction.
  • Improperly budgeting for continued business operations.
  • Not being diligent enough in considering the liabilities associated with the property.
  • Falling in love with a property and moving forward with it despite it not being in your business interests.

To avoid that from happening, take the time and seek out the support that you need to ensure that you’ve anticipated every issue that can come up. By doing so, you’ll find yourself more comfortable and confident moving forward with your commercial real estate transaction.
