REAL ESTATE INVESTING
Share:
We will be discussing the basics and pros and cons of each type of real estate investment so you can better distinguish which type of real estate investment might be best for you.
Commercial real estate is used exclusively for business-related purposes, or to provide a workplace, rather than living like residential. Some of the most common commercial real estate properties include office buildings, retail stores, multifamily properties, and industrial properties. These types of buildings can range from large multi-tenant shopping centers to single-tenant storefronts. The standard form of commercial real estate investing is where properties are purchased and then leased to tenants to conduct income-generating activities. Commercial lease rates (price to occupy a space) are typically quoted in annual rental dollars per square-foot. These leases will run from one to 10 years or more, with office and retail space typically averaging five-to-10-year leases. Investing in commercial real estate can be potentially lucrative and serve as a hedge against the volatility of the stock market and other traditional investments. Investors can make money through property appreciation when they sell, but most returns come from tenant rents.

There’s no single answer to this question – it depends on your goals, your financial situation, and many other factors. Ultimately, the best investment for you will depend on your specific situation.

Commercial real estate offers many advantages, such as more stability and greater potential for ROI (return on investment).
