Tips for First-Time Commercial Real Estate Investors

For many investors, real estate is an attractive path to developing a solid investment portfolio. Part of a natural progression in real estate investment often involves wading into the commercial real estate investment arena. Doing so with appropriate legal guidance is crucial to creating successful commercial real estate investment strategies, and we can help. The following are some tips to consider before delving into commercial real estate.

Research the Local Real Estate Market

The first step in establishing a sound commercial real estate investment strategy is understanding the ins and outs of the market. There are key terms and processes related to the real estate market in general that you should learn. Our real estate attorneys will help you understand the terms you will come across when purchasing commercial real estate. We will also help guide you through Florida’s unique commercial real estate market. This can help you narrow your search to the proper area as well as the type of property that is right for you.

Take Time to Understand the Different Types of Commercial Real Estate

Making an informed decision about investing in Florida’s commercial real estate market means understanding the different types of properties that are available. Typical commercial real estate investment properties include retail spaces, hotels, industrial properties, office spaces, and other business-related properties. Each of these different types of properties has different benefits and drawbacks for an investor.

Take a Realistic Approach

If you are considering purchasing your first Florida commercial real estate investment property, you need to take a realistic approach to the process. How much time can you devote to running and maintaining the property? Does the property help you achieve the financial objectives you have established as the foundation for your purchase? What is the short- and long-term investment potential of the property? What are your available financing options? Our expert attorneys have helped many first-time commercial real estate investors formulate and answer these types of questions, and we will put that experience to work for you to make sure you have reasonable expectations for your investment.
