How is this post remotely down-votable, wild
Whining about internet points is so lame. Have another one, nerd.
1. parking income
2. signage income
3. advertising board income (pattison, etc.)
4. admin fee income (not really considered auxiliary but you will find this typically under recovery revenues)
5. cell tower income
I think that covers about 90% of the deals - I'm probably missing a few.
Thanks for a coherent/relevant response but I would list that at 60%.
For example, offering avenue facing exterior walls to companies to project ads. There is a slew of randomn shit
Keep em coming little guys
In MF you will see pet fees (monthly charge to have a pet live with you) as well as storage income (small cubicles rented out to store bikes, tools, misc items, etc). In parking you can also get some ancillary income from EV charging stations. I have also heard of co-working spaces like study rooms and conference rooms in MF/office rented out to freelancers on a very short-term basis.
1) Adding some kind of administrative fee on top of reimbursable expenses.
2) Having pro rata tax reimbursements exceeding 100% of the actual bill. E.g., have a tenant agree to cover 12-13% of the tax bill when their actual pro rata share is closer to 10%. I’ve seen some owners getting reimbursed like ~120% of taxes in a fully occupied building.
3) Charging for square footage that doesn’t actually exist. Maybe this is just an NYC thing.
4) Charging a property management fee on a NNN lease.
