Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Before you buy that property dream
You need to look beyond what you see
Numbers tell the story that's real
Due diligence is your safety seal
Check the leases line by line today
Terms and rent rolls show the way
Who's your tenant, what do they pay
How long will they decide to stay

[Chorus]
L-V-C, the keys you need
Lease analysis, plant the seed
Vacancy rates, don't ignore
Capital expenses at your door
L-V-C, remember me
Real estate fundamentals, can't you see
Do your homework thoroughly
That's the path to victory

[Verse 2]
Empty units mean no cash flow
Vacancy rates, you need to know
Market average tells the tale
Will your investment truly sail
Five percent or twenty-five
Makes the difference to survive
Historical trends and future sight
Keep your investment burning bright

[Chorus]
L-V-C, the keys you need
Lease analysis, plant the seed
Vacancy rates, don't ignore
Capital expenses at your door
L-V-C, remember me
Real estate fundamentals, can't you see
Do your homework thoroughly
That's the path to victory

[Bridge]
Capital expenditure planning ahead
Roof repairs and systems instead
Budget for the future cost
Or your profits will be lost
Reserve funds set aside with care
Maintenance keeps your building fair
Plan today for tomorrow's needs
Smart investing always succeeds

[Verse 3]
Lease expiration dates aligned
Triple net or gross defined
Escalation clauses found
Anchor tenants safe and sound
Put it all together now
Due diligence shows you how
Calculate your true return
Knowledge is what you must earn

[Chorus]
L-V-C, the keys you need
Lease analysis, plant the seed
Vacancy rates, don't ignore
Capital expenses at your door
L-V-C, remember me
Real estate fundamentals, can't you see
Do your homework thoroughly
That's the path to victory

[Outro]
Before you sign upon that line
Make sure the numbers all align
L-V-C will set you free
Real estate profitability
