Sitting here deep in thought ... thinking, why the small to mid size commercial do not reach out to educate themselves before going into a lease ... Sure, there are resources that help them negotiate the lease ... but what are these tenants looking for in a lease, how can they protect themselves?  What do they do once they are in a lease?  These are a few of the many questions I see many tenants struggle with today.  But if they knew there was a resource available to them to enhance their knowledge database, would they reach out, access that source and use it to its fullest potential. 

I wonder, when will the commercial tenant say enough is enough and step up to the plate whereby looking out for its benefits in leasing and saving on their bottom line. 

I am tired of seeing the 'mom & pop' tenants struggle in their day to day dealing with the landlord, but the question is are they tired???
