Commercial real estate management: the other side of property

Commercial real estate is one of the two main categories of real estate (the other being residential) and many consider it to be the next level when it comes to savvy long-term investments. This kind of real estate is often thought of as a high risk/high reward form of investment due to the various complexities involved and the sometimes-fickle nature of the industry. That said, with the right kind of commercial real estate management, investors can yield high returns while minimizing their exposure.

What commercial real estate management can do for your portfolio

Commercial real estate offers several advantages above residential investments. It can produce high-yields due to potentially lucrative leases, particularly for assets located in commercially competitive areas. The more common securing of long-term contracts also offers a level of stability when it comes to income. However, these lucrative returns require a large investment at the beginning to secure the right properties and to renovate them as needed. That said, commercial real estate is also considered an excellent diversification strategy for portfolios as the industry regularly moves counter to developments in the stock market.

The categories of commercial real estate management

There are several different categories of commercial real estate including office, multi-family, industrial, hospitality, and retail. Each one carries their specific benefits, levels of risk, and complexities when it comes to the management of the asset itself. For instance, retail contracts often span 10-25 years with most of the maintenance cost taken on by tenant, lowering the ongoing cost to investors. However, this comes with the risk of being unable to adapt rents to current market rates due to the long-term nature of the contract. This is one of the reasons why it is important to choose a commercial real estate management company you can rely on to understand and oversee the complexities surrounding each investment.

The challenges of commercial real estate management

Commercial real estate poses some challenges over and above residential real estate. The main thing that deters would-be investors is the need for in-depth knowledge of things like taxation, regulation, legal maintenance requirements, etc. These vary from country to country and sometimes even from state to state. Also, commercial properties are usually tailored for the tenant in a way the residential properties rarely are. This means that in the event of a tenant leaving or going out of business, the requirement is either to secure a similar commercial tenant or to renovate the property to fit a new kind of tenant. These are just some of the reasons why engaging the services of a knowledgeable and reliable commercial real estate management service is such a sensible investment.

Select the right commercial real estate management partner for you

While challenging, commercial real estate can dazzle with the kinds of ROI savvy investors can and do enjoy. The key is having a real estate management team on your side with a vision for the future of your portfolio that overlaps with yours.
