Closed in Othello, WA.

I was pleased to represent both the buyer and seller in the successful sale of this impressive industrial property at 1539 W Lee Road. The facility features approximately 80,000 square feet of warehouse space, exceptional clear heights, flexible configurations, and additional support buildings, making it well-suited for industrial, manufacturing, logistics, and agricultural processing operations.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this transaction to a successful close.

Already own rental property? Here's what changes when you move into commercial real estate.

Longer lease terms. Tenants who handle more of their own expenses. Properties valued on income performance rather than neighborhood comps. And a transaction process that rewards preparation and financial fluency.

The jump from residential to commercial isn't for everyone - but for the right investor, it's where real portfolio growth begins.

Curious what that transition looks like in Central Washington? Let's talk.

You don't have to be rich to get started in commercial real estate. You just need the right guidance.

A lot of people assume commercial property is only for big corporations or seasoned investors. The truth? Many small business owners and everyday investors in the Yakima Valley have taken that first step - and the process is far more accessible than most people think.

Whether you're curious about owning the building your business operates from, or you want to start building wealth through investment property, a conversation costs nothing.

Let's talk about what's realistic for you.

Lease or buy your commercial space? The honest answer depends on your numbers.

Leasing may make sense if:
- Capital is better deployed in your business right now
- Your space needs are likely to change in the next few years
- You're in a market where ownership premiums are high

Buying may make sense if:
- You have stable, long-term space requirements
- You want to build equity instead of paying rent
- Your business can qualify for owner-occupied financing
- You're ready to treat your facility as part of your overall wealth strategy

There's no universal right answer - which is exactly why this decision deserves more than a quick opinion. It requires a financial analysis that accounts for your specific situation, market conditions, and long-term goals.

At Peak Commercial Group, we help business owners work through this with real data, not guesswork.

Thinking about your next multifamily acquisition? Ask these 5 questions first.

1. What is the current rent roll, and how does it compare to market rates?
2. What is the actual NOI - after vacancy, management, and maintenance?
3. Are any units under below-market leases with near-term expiration?
4. What deferred maintenance is priced into the ask - or isn't?
5. Does the zoning allow for future density increases?

Multifamily investment in Central Washington remains one of the most accessible paths to building long-term portfolio wealth. But the difference between a solid deal and a costly mistake often lives in the details - the ones you only find by asking the right questions and running the real numbers.

That's what CCIM-level analysis looks like in practice.

Ready to evaluate a multifamily opportunity? Let's talk.

The best commercial properties in Central Washington don't always make it to public listings.

Here's why off-market deals exist:
- Sellers who want privacy and a clean process
- Owners exploring options before committing to a full listing
- Estate situations requiring discretion
- Investors looking to exchange and needing a quick match

Getting access to these opportunities isn't about luck. It's about relationships built over years and a reputation for executing - which is why serious investors work with brokers who are deeply embedded in their market, not just browsing the same databases everyone else uses.

Over 20 years in Central Washington's commercial market means we know who owns what, what's quietly available, and how to put deals together before they ever go public.

If off-market access is important to your acquisition strategy, let's connect.

The businesses that own their real estate think differently about growth.

When your facility is a cost center, you manage it. When it's an asset, you leverage it.

Owners who hold commercial property often find that over time, the real estate becomes as valuable as the business itself - sometimes more. And unlike business goodwill, the building doesn't disappear if you decide to sell.

There's also a strategic dimension most renters overlook: control. When you own, you're not vulnerable to lease renewals, landlord decisions, or rent spikes at the worst possible time.

At Peak Commercial Group, we work with business owners throughout Central Washington to evaluate whether ownership makes sense - financially and operationally.

If that question has crossed your mind, it's worth a conversation.

Not all leases are created equal. Here's a quick breakdown:

GROSS LEASE - Tenant pays a flat rent. Owner covers operating expenses. Simpler for tenants, more exposure for owners.

NNN (TRIPLE NET) - Tenant pays rent plus property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Owners love these for their predictability.

MODIFIED GROSS- A negotiated middle ground. Some expenses pass through, others don't. Terms vary by deal.

PERCENTAGE LEASE - Common in retail. Base rent plus a percentage of tenant sales. Owner benefits when the business does well.

Why it matters for investors: The lease structure directly affects your cash flow, your expenses, and your property's value. A building with long-term NNN leases to stable tenants is worth more - and finances differently - than the same building on gross leases.

Before you evaluate any commercial property, understand what you're actually buying.
