Thorough market research and property analysis are necessary. Discover how to research the property and the market. This information is the foundation of value and is included in the offering memorandum.

“Subleasing and Lease Buyouts: Strategies and Analysis” (two hours c.e. credit)
Instructed by Joe Larkin, CCIM, MCR, SIOR
In today’s business environment, many companies are reevaluating their workplace strategy. Some are implementing a “work at home” mobility strategy that will reduce the company’s requirement for space. Evaluating a company’s options to reduce its footprint may include subleasing excess space or potentially a lease buyout.
Discover how the company’s lease will impact and drive the subleasing of space and the resulting financial impact — Excel at achieving better financial outcomes by analyzing various subleasing scenarios.
Practice by taking part in a case study using an Excel spreadsheet to simulate different sublease opportunities and potentially a lease buyout. You will discover what it takes to create a basic sublease probability analysis model that can be modified and varied based on market assumptions.
This course is necessary for any level of experienced corporate real estate professional.
What you will learn:
• Recognize the business impact of non-financial clauses in a lease.
• Develop an understanding of how to model a sublease transaction.
• The benefits of subleasing are that it will reduce the cost to occupy.
• Calculate the financial value range for a sublease.
• Evaluate the motivations for a lease buyout.
• Utilize the sublease analysis for a buyout transaction.
• How to create value with buyout negotiations by subleasing space.
• The three approaches to establishing a lease buyout price.
