Vacant or Underutilized

What is Vacant or Underutilized?

This play targets vacant or underperforming commercial properties. Owners often face carrying costs, missed income, or deferred maintenance. Reaching out with solutions—leasing, repositioning, or selling—positions you as the advisor who turns their problem into opportunity.

The Right Audience

Commercial property owners with vacancies, deferred maintenance, or underused assets. Especially strong with legacy owners, passive investors, or family trusts carrying non-performing properties. These owners are open to ideas that create cash flow or liquidity. Adjust Owner Type to your target audience.

Outreach Channels

Direct mail and phone outreach create the strongest first connections with owners of vacant or underperforming properties. In-person meetings or tenant canvassing add credibility for local assets. Email and online ads work well to reinforce visibility but are less effective for initial contact.
