Startup Idea: My company will lease your space for whatever price you want. Then we sub-lease your building at the market rate. We charge the different between the market rate for your building and what you want to charge + a small fee. That way your property retains it's "original" value, but actually gets rented out.

Everyone (especially us) wins!





Sounds great! I'll charge you $100 per sqft, and you can sublease it at the current market rate, which is $5 per sq ft.

Perfect. That'll be $96 + tip.

The world needs Someone with enormous chutzpah to try this.

That's unbelievably stupid. But then again, so is not renting out the space at the market rate so you can pretend it's worth more than it really is. So... good luck, I guess?

that's the joke.gif
