The Lease Abstract Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

You can read a lease abstract and still not know what you’re buying.


On paper, the rent might look strong. The term might be long. The use might fit perfectly into your portfolio. But what’s missing is context.


Is that rent actually sustainable, or was it sweetened with too many concessions? Is the tenant actively expanding—or quietly downsizing? Are nearby properties starting to offer newer space for less?


We’ve seen deals marketed on clean abstracts, only to find out the tenant’s struggling with reimbursement cuts or the physician group is heading toward a buyout that could leave the space dark.


That’s why market intelligence matters. It takes you beyond the lease summary and into the real dynamics driving performance.


Because the goal isn’t to check boxes—it’s to protect your capital.
