Should I prefer a national tenant or a successful local business?

Both can provide significant value depending on the property and investment objectives. National tenants may offer recognized brands and established operating histories, while successful local businesses often demonstrate strong community relationships, loyal customer bases, and long-term commitment to the local market.

Rather than relying solely on size or name recognition, evaluate the financial strength, business model, and long-term suitability of each prospective tenant.

The best tenant is often the one most likely to succeed in your specific property.
