In this episode of Build Your Legacy: The Commercial Real Estate Playbook, we break down one of the most misunderstood—and most negotiated—terms in commercial leasing: the Personal Guarantee.

If you’re a tenant, investor, or business owner, signing a lease with a full personal guarantee could expose your personal assets. But here’s the truth—there are strategic ways to reduce, restructure, or even eliminate that risk.

We walk through real-world negotiation strategies used in commercial deals, including:

• Burn-off guarantees (step-down structures)
• Good Guy guarantees
• Security deposit and Letter of Credit alternatives
• Performance-based eliminations
• Capped and limited guarantees

You’ll learn how landlords actually think about risk—and how to position your deal so you can negotiate from strength, not fear.

If you’re serious about protecting your downside while scaling your business, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
