Pull the daytime population for the storefront's catchment
A 1-mile catchment can swing from 8,000 daytime population to 80,000 depending on which side of the highway. RemotePropView surfaces nearby anchor employers (Toyota in Plano, Liberty Mutual in Plano, JPMorgan in Legacy West) so you can compare submarkets like-for-like.
Compare the asking $/sq ft to submarket comps
Asking rents drift 6-12 months above closed comps in DFW because owners anchor on listing-day pricing. Pull your own comps. If asking is more than 8% above closed, you have negotiation room.
Read the CAM line items before the LOI
NNN expense pads are where landlord profit hides. Capital expenditures should not appear in CAM. Management fees should not double-dip on rent + CAM. Insist on a CAM cap of 5% year-over-year in the LOI.
Verify the trust signal on the listing
A surprising number of DFW commercial listings are stale - the building sold 18 months ago and the new owner relisted at a higher price. Pull the county record. If ownership changed in the last 24 months, ask why the price is up.
