What are some of the pros of commercial investments?
Income potential. The best reason to invest in commercial over residential rentals is the earning potential. Commercial properties generally have an annual return which is usually a much higher range than typically exists for single family home properties.
Professional relationships. Small business owners generally take pride in their businesses and want to protect their livelihood. Owners of commercial properties are usually LLCs that operate the property as a business. In this case, the landlord and tenant have more of a business-to-business customer relationship, which helps keep interactions professional and courteous.
Public eye. Retail tenants have a vested interest in maintaining their store and storefront, because if they don’t, it will affect their business. As a result, commercial tenants and property owner interests are aligned, which helps the owner maintain and improve the quality of the property, and ultimately, the value of their investment.
More flexibility in lease terms. Fewer consumer protection laws govern commercial leases, unlike the dozens of state laws, such as security deposit limits and termination rules, that cover residential real estate.
