• Successful entrepreneur Darwin Horan leads Ventana Capital, Inc., as president and CEO.
In this capacity, Darwin Horan oversees land development and home building projects
and controls one of Colorado’s largest real estate portfolios. This portfolio consists of
more than $200 million of residential and commercial property assets.
Below are four things to watch for when looking for the right commercial property
tenant:
1. Failing business: In many cases it’s possible to turn a failing business back into a
profitable one. But you may want to inquire about the business’ plan to turn things
around before renting to them. While moving can help a business become profitable, it
can rarely accomplish this unless the company makes other changes to improve
operations.
2. Hazy income: A good commercial tenant has no issue giving you financial details to
prove they can afford rent throughout the lease length. When a tenant is reluctant to
provide this information, they may be hiding the fact that they can’t afford rent.
3. COMMERCIAL TENANT
• 3. Rushing verification: No matter how long your
property has been empty, do not rush the verification
process. And put extra thought into signing a tenant who
is encouraging you to rush the verification process. This
may be their way of keeping something in their
background check hidden from you.
4. Constant complaining: Hearing a couple stories about
a bad landlord is normal for many tenants. However, it’s
concerning if a potential tenant complains about every
landlord they’ve had. It’s possible that they have had very
bad luck, but it’s also possible that they were the
common problem.
