Is the “Great Return to Office” actually happening?

Headlines are full of big-name Return to Office (RTO) mandates (State Farm, Amazon, JP Morgan, Microsoft, federal government, and more), but the data tells a more nuanced story.

According to Founder Reports’ 2026 analysis:

• Only 27% of companies have gone fully in-person

• 67% still offer hybrid flexibility

Hybrid remains the dominant model, with companies balancing collaboration goals against talent retention and work-life balance. For commercial real estate, this means continued demand for adaptable, amenity-rich office spaces rather than a full reversion to pre-pandemic occupancy.

For the full article, see the comments.

💵 Buying commercial real estate comes with more financing flexibility than most people think! Here is a simple breakdown of 3 popular options with general rules for each:

Traditional Commercial Bank Loans
→ Sometimes the lowest interest rates
→ Usually requires 20-30% down
→ More fixed terms and longer approval times

SBA Loans
→ Low interest rates
→ As low as 10% down
→ Good for owner-operators and small businesses

Seller Financing
→ Seller acts as the lender
→ Highly flexible terms
→ Down payment varies
→ Fastest closing time
→ Great option if you don’t qualify for traditional loans

Speaking with a lending expert will help you make the best decision based on your circumstances. These are just high-level guidelines for each loan category to hopefully shed some light upon buyer’s options.

In commercial real estate, location isn’t always the top priority!

Destination Businesses attract customers who make a special trip just to visit you — think unique boutiques, popular breweries, or specialty shops. These businesses can thrive in a wider range of locations and often generate their own traffic.

Convenience Businesses, on the other hand, rely on people stopping in while they’re already driving by — like coffee drive-thrus, pharmacies, or quick-service restaurants. These need strong visibility and high-traffic locations to succeed.

The key? Matching the right business to the right space.

When most people think of multi-family properties, they picture large apartment complexes with 15 or more units. However, in commercial real estate, the classification threshold is much lower.

In Illinois, properties with 4 units or fewer are treated like traditional residential real estate. Anything with 5 or more units would be classified as a commercial property. This distinction is primarily driven by how lending institutions evaluate, value, and finance these properties.
