LA110 - Methods & Techniques in Commercial Lease Abstracting

Course description


This course offers a hands-on approach to learning how to abstract commercial lease information for effective communication and reportable presentation. Information from various lease types—such as office, retail, or industrial, as well as from the landlord and tenant perspective—will be abstracted over the entire lease abstract cycle, from the initial project start-up to the ongoing abstract maintenance.

Topics: Reading a commercial lease (both retail and office); understanding key lease clauses; summarizing both financial and non-financial information into a short abstract form; designing an abstract form; reviewing the accuracy of the information abstracted; abstracting into lease software; and setting up both an individual or multiple-person abstracting project.
