“We just sold a building located out of the state of California,” said Buchanan of Lee & Associates Orange. “Our client, who wanted to own property in Texas was an investor who purchased the Texas building to affect a tax deferred exchange. Cash flow, ease of management, and the multi-year lease had appeal to the buyer.”
