Investing in Commercial Real Estate

Stages of cooperation

• Evaluation
  When an investor approaches us to handle their construction project, the first step in the evaluation process assesses the neighborhood to determine the most suitable property for that location. We objectively determine if the area is suitable for commercial real estate development and then advise you on critical choices such as application for zoning variances and other steps you may need to take
• Budgeting
  Based on our property assessment, we will offer a detailed budget that breaks down the construction costs with critical elements such as price per square foot in the area and the property's exclusivity in maximizing the dollar amount per square foot. We will also include estimates for features such as floorplans, finishes, and design.
• Financing and Start of Construction
  Once you are equipped with the budget, you can secure financing for the project and give us the green light to formally start the construction process. We will start by demolishing any existing structure and start laying the foundation. Here, we focus on a solid foundation that is guaranteed to last for many years.

• Since we handle every aspect of the construction process, we fabricate and install steel structures and match them with either full masonry or wood frame structures per the architectural drawings. We ensure that our buildings have proper reinforcement systems to strengthen the structure. Additionally, we use waterproof material to ensure dry buildings in any season.
• Compliance and Cooperation
  Energy efficiency is important to us, and we ensure this through integrated advanced insulation technologies. It will prove to be a selling point to your commercial tenants who wish to minimize their utility costs. In the same spirit, we use LED lights due to their top ranking in eco-friendliness and efficiency.
  All our installations are done in strict adherence to the building codes, and we say this with pride: we always pass the safety checks at the first attempt!
  You will get to enjoy the honor of selecting the desired floor finishes ranging from hardwood, bamboo, or engineered flooring with different board sizes. Our experts will advise you on suitable finishes for the intended use of the property. You will also select other finishes to ensure that the property is developed with your vision in mind.
• Handing Over
  Once construction and inspection are complete, the property is ready to be handed over. You will get to take possession of the property and start your journey towards prosperity either through regular passive income from renting or a more immediate return on your investment from selling.
  
  

Commercial vs. Residential Real Estate Investing

Both sectors have the potential to earn you passive income while building wealth, but there are some differences that you may want to consider. There are benefits of investing in commercial real estate that you may not see in residential real estate.

• Economies of scale
  Commercial real estate properties tend to be larger in size when compared to residential real estate developments. With the size of the transactions for commercial real estate, you can manage to partner with or hire experts in property management aspects. This will ensure that your investment is managed well enough to realize the high return on investment.
• The nature of the tenants
  In residential real estate, families can always move out and downsize if they can no longer afford the rent. Commercial real estate has the same issue but with a much lower frequency. Businesses become synonymous with their physical location, and when the location is in a prime area, they would not want to move for fear of losing clients. This ensures that your commercial properties are almost always fully occupied.
• Nature of the leases
  The norm in real estate is that leases for commercial real estate properties require commitments of between three to five years. For residential real estate, the standard practice is one year. Once a tenant vacates, it can take some time before the unit is occupied again, and therefore, longer leases offer the investor a sense of comfort and guaranteed income.
• Legal protections
  Consideration of housing as a human right means that tenants of residential real estate enjoy certain legal protections from their landlords. However, you will not face the same legal hurdles when it comes to commercial real estate.

How to Generate Passive Income with Commercial Real Estate?

The process of passive income generation with commercial real estate starts with the investment step. You can either choose to allocate your land for commercial development or finance a real estate project.

The idea of passive income is that you do not need to be actively involved in the process for your investment to bear fruit. You will find suitable partners to make sure your investment is utilized efficiently with clear objectives regarding the return on the investment

Once the construction is complete, you can seek the services of a qualified, competent, and trustworthy property managing firm. The firm will handle the hassle of getting tenants for the development, and you can start earning once occupied.

If you wish to sell the property at any point, the property agents can help you get the development listed and find the right buyer at your asking price. From start to finish, your role will only be oversight, and you can be sure that your passive income will be regular and consistent.
