FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Life School: Founded in 1998, the Life School is a government funded charter school with eight campuses throughout Dallas. Life School’s NNN lease is structured with annual increases ranging from $2,300$2,700 per year over the term of the lease. Life School, No Kick-Out Clause: Typically government entities or businesses supported by government funds will structure their leases with a termination clause which allows the tenant to exercise the termination with 90 days’ notice. However, in this case the Landlord did not allow for a termination clause. With no kick-out, this lease provides a purchaser exceptional security with the Property’s cash-flow. The State of Texas funds between approximately $6,500 and $7,500 per child to the school.

However, STRIVE has not and will not verify any of this information, nor has STRIVE conducted any investigation regarding these matters. STRIVE makes no guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever about the accuracy or completeness of any information provided. As the Buyer of a net leased property, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to independently confirm the accuracy and completeness of all material information before completing any purchase. This Marketing Brochure is not a substitute for your thorough due diligence investigation of this investment opportunity. STRIVE expressly denies any obligation to conduct a due diligence examination of this Property for Buyer. Any projections, opinions, assumptions or estimates used in this Marketing Brochure are for example only and do not represent the current or future performance of this property. The value of a net leased property to you depends on factors that should be evaluated by you and your tax, financial and legal advisors. Buyer and Buyer’s tax, financial, legal, and construction advisors should conduct a careful, independent investigation of any net leased property to determine to your satisfaction with the suitability of the property for your needs. Like all real estate investments, this investment carries significant risks. Buyer and Buyer’s legal and financial advisors must request and carefully review all legal and financial documents related to the property and tenant. While the tenant’s past performance at this or other locations is an important consideration, it is not a guarantee of future success. Similarly, the lease rate for some properties, including newly-constructed facilities or newly-acquired locations, may be set based on a tenant’s projected sales with little or no record of actual performance, or comparable rents for the area. Returns are not guaranteed; the tenant and any guarantors may fail to pay the lease rent or property taxes, or may fail to comply with other material terms of the lease; cash flow may be interrupted in part or in whole due to market, economic, environmental or other conditions. Regardless of tenant history and lease guarantees, Buyer is responsible for conducting his/her own investigation of all matters affecting the intrinsic value of the property and the value of any long-term lease, including the likelihood of locating a replacement tenant if the current tenant should default or abandon the property, and the lease terms that Buyer may be able to negotiate with a potential replacement tenant considering the location of the property, and Buyer’s legal ability to make alternate use of the property. By accepting this Marketing Brochure you agree to release STRIVE and hold it harmless from any kind of claim, cost, expense, or liability arising out of your investigation and/or purchase of this net leased property.

Information About Brokerage Services
efore working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER: The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written - listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of subagency from the listing broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER: The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY: A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain
the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction: (1) shall treat all parties honestly; (2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner; (3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and (4) may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property. With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party. If you choose to have a broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.
