Who Can Purchase a Commercial Property?

There are numerous ways investors purchase commercial properties. You can go in as the sole investor or together as a group. Many times investors will create a large investment firm to purchase and manage multiple commercial properties. Do your due diligence and look into commercial investment strategies before signing the dotted line. Work with a local broker to research types of properties you want to invest in as well as those that will thrive in your location.

What Type of Tenants is in a Commercial Property?

Unlike residential property, you can use commercial properties for many different purposes. Some buildings have multiple tenants while others contain single tenants. Office buildings are often multitenant, where manufacturing facilities may only house one business. Some tenants only want to lease for a few years, whereas other tenants may be ready to sign a contract for 10 to 15 years.

What are the Costs of a Commercial Property?

This question is best answered with the input of a local commercial real estate broker such as Ullian Realty. Generally speaking, you need to know whether you will house a single tenant or multiple tenants. Assess the typical needs based on the businesses you hope to attract. Research the costs of building permits and any upgrades needed to bring the building up to code. You also need to factor in taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees.
