Buying or selling commercial real estate can be a complicated process. There are many factors to take into account for the optimal transaction. Educating yourself ahead of time is the best way to make the process go smoothly, easily, and profitably. The following tips are geared to get you started on the path to success.
Negotiate the terms of your lease. If you are a small business owner, you should negotiate one or two year leases to ensure flexibility to grow your business. Have an option to renew your lease if you need to with a predetermined rent amount to avoid unexpected, usually catastrophic rent increase at the end of the term.
When investing in commercial real estate, you must be sure you look over the underlying leases' key terms. This is done so you can verify that the terms match the rent roll and the pro forma. If you do not look over these key terms, you could find a term that was not considered in the rent roll, which could cause a change in the pro forma.
During the process of looking for a commercial real estate property, it is important to ask your broker any questions you may have. If you don't, you could end up agreeing to something that you are not pleased with or losing out on something that you were really looking for.
Commercial real estate is a great investment if you have the financial background to purchase property. Find a reputable Realtor and discuss what it is you are looking for. Investment properties can made from a small local store to a strip mall. Knowing what you want is the first step to maximizing your financial portfolio.
Think about getting in commercial real estate with a partner. You have to be able to trust this person and agree on a way to share the benefits. If you are only using a partner for financing, simply pay them back. A partner can help you by sharing his good credit and will spend time looking for deals with you.
When looking for properties you should use a couple of different resources. Check the online listings, those in the paper and ask people around you if they know of anything. By looking in different places you can be sure that you are really putting yourself out there to find your ideal property.
Do not get frustrated with the process of buying commercial real estate! Instead, use the tips above to guide you through the process so your transaction can be as smooth as possible. The right real estate can do wonders for business, so make sure you get your hands on it with these tips!
