commercial and residential real estate investment
Many investors view today’s disadvantaged real estate market as a golden opportunity for investment, particularly with the instability of the stock market. Real estate has always been a favored investment because it is a tangible asset that can produce income as the value increases over the years. The old adage of “buy low, sell high” is particularly relevant to real estate today with a variety of real estate products available. Although experts do not all agree as to whether the market has begun to rebound in earnest, it is safe to assume that the low prices and extensive inventory of investment properties will not last forever.
This is an excellent time for investing in commercial and residential real estate. However, for the inexperienced investor, this type of investing may be confusing. The professionals at Kenneth R. West, Inc. can help review available options to help you make the best choice in deciding whether you want to invest in commercial real estate or residential real estate. Our team can show you available properties in either category and provide information that will assist in your decision.
Because most people have purchased a home at some point in their lives, investing in residential real estate may seem like the obvious choice. Many distressed residential properties may be purchased today via short sale or through REO or bank foreclosures. The potential for a “fix and flip” or a cash-flowing rental house may be attractive for many investors. However, prior to jumping into the residential real estate market, the investor will be well served to thoroughly explore the potential of the commercial investment market as well.
The advantages of residential real estate investment include a typically lower initial outlay of funds and financing is typically easier (and cheaper) to obtain. It should be noted, however, that managing residential real estate tenants can be time consuming and riddled with issues of liability. However, with proper management, there is potential to create residual income in the residential real estate market. The professionals at Kenneth R. West, Inc. can help guide you in this endeavor and answer your questions.
There are investors who make a reasonable return on investment with large portfolios of residential rental properties. However, this is a highly specialized market that requires commitment, patience and knowledge about the industry. The income potential in residential real estate increases significantly once the loan has been paid in full and the cash flow begins to exceed the costs of maintenance, creating a profitable retirement account for your residential real estate investment.
Commercial real estate investment properties come in many sizes, shapes, and purposes, with an equally vast range of investment requirements. The initial outlay of time and effort may be greater than that of most residential properties, however the ROI can often be much more rewarding and less labor intensive. One of the best commercial investment alternatives today is triple net lease investment properties. Large, national companies, in an effort to retain their precious capital, often elect to lease their operating facilities rather than purchase them. They enter into a long-term triple net lease, wherein the tenant not only makes periodic lease payments but also assumes all responsibility for taxes, insurance, maintenance, repair, and upkeep. ROI is traditionally significantly higher for commercial real estate than for residential real estate, with less time, liability, and risk for the investor.
As with any business, marketing plays a big role in the commercial real estate and residential real estate industry. It is essential to select a Realtor® who can deliver high visibility to your investment properties. You may decide that real estate management services would be of benefit to you. Kenneth R. West, Inc., Commercial Real Estate and Property Management, offers a full range of real estate management services to help ensure the greatest return on your investment.
Investors should always consult with industry experts and tax professionals before deciding on a course of action for real estate investing, whether you choose to invest in residential real estate or commercial real estate. We invite you to contact the Kenneth R. West, Inc. team to schedule a consultation.
