GSA Lease Negotiations and Due Diligence

Understand the RLP process, negotiating the lease, and dealing with the government as the tenant.

The federal government is the country's largest tenant by far, if not in the world. In both strong and not-so-strong economic times, the federal government is always in the market for new or replacement space ranging from the most modern office space to simple warehousing requirements. When the commercial real estate market is in the doldrums, the federal government is always still there as a potential tenant. Understanding how to successfully deal with the government and obtain a long-term stream of rental income should be a critical aspect of any prudent lessor's and investor's knowledge portfolio.
