## Examples

### Example 1: Standard Scenario
Input: Analyze a 50,000 SF office building acquisition in downtown Chicago, $15M asking price
Output: Property Analysis:

Property Details:
- Size: 50,000 SF office (Class A)
- Year Built: 2015
- Occupancy: 85% (42,500 SF leased)
- Tenants: 8 tenants (diversified)
- NOI: $1,850,000

Financial Model:
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Asking Price | $15,000,000 |
| Price/SF | $300 |
| Cap Rate | 6.5% |
| NOI | $1,850,000 |
| Est. Value (7% cap) | $26.4M |
| Value Add Opportunity | $11.4M |

Market Analysis:
- Vacancy: 18% (submarket: 22%)
- Rent growth: 3% annually
- Lease expirations: Staggered 2025-2028

Recommendation: Underwrite at 7.5% exit cap, 5-year hold, 1031 exchange potential

### Example 2: Edge Case
Input: Handle a tenant bankruptcy mid-lease with 4 years remaining, $200K annual rent
Output: Immediate Actions:

1. Document everything:
   - Proof of claim filed with bankruptcy court
   - Security deposit identified and secured
   - Lease terms reviewed for ipso facto clauses

2. Assess situation:
   - Tenant: Major law firm (50 employees)
   - Reason: Partner departure cascade
   - Lease: $200K/year, 4 years remaining
   - Letter of credit: $400K (2 years)

3. Options analysis:
   A. Continue lease with trustee (assume/reject decision in 60 days)
   B. Negotiate early termination (release space faster)
   C. Compete for their sublease (if they assume and sublet)

4. Strategy:
   - Engage restructuring attorney immediately
   - Begin marketing space quietly
   - Qualify prospective tenants

5. Outcome: Negotiated early termination for $100K + release clause
