Commercial Real Estate and Lending

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) is any property owned to produce income. From an investment point of view, commercial real estate encompasses any kind of property, including land, which brings or has the potential to bring income. From a business point of view, commercial real estate is any offering of office, retail, industrial, medical, hospitality, and other commercial space that can be leased (and sometimes bought) for the use of the business.

Commercial properties can be classified into six main categories: office, retail, industrial, multi-family, land, and a miscellaneous catch-all category that includes everything else.

Commercial Real Estate involves information that can be obtained through numerous sources, some of which are have access to the public such as GIS mapping systems, public deeds and records and government related sites which provide information such as Zoning Regulations, Covenants and Restrictions and property tax information.  Other sites are paid membership sites that provide important data on demographics, population profiles, traffic counts, and market potential for specific locations.  We utilize all of these various sites to provide detailed information and facts that are important in making informed decisions when investing in commercial real estate.  Whether you are interested in Shopping Centers, Apartment Complexes, Multi Family, Retail, Restaurants, Gas Stations, Office, Industrial or Land we provide all of the information you need to make an informed decision.

In our area one common type of Commercial Real Estate is Multi Family Condominiums. Condominiums can be considered residential real estate when they are purchased as a primary residence or second home, however they are more often than not used as income producing properties which classifies them as commercial.  When buying any type of commercial real estate, be it a shopping center, land or residential rental property a commercial loan can be used to finance the property.

Many of the issues that buyers have when trying to obtain financing for these properties arise because they are not property informed of all of their options. When investors mistakenly pursue residential loans for commercial properties the headaches begin.  Residential loans are highly regulated by the government in order to protect the residential consumer.  Many people pursue these loans because they offer slightly lower interest rates and longer amortization schedules, stretching the loans out for 30 years where commercial loan terms are typically 20 years or less. We have lenders that can help you decide which loan will best suit your needs prior to the actual loan application.

Commercial or Investment Real Estate requires a high level of knowledge.  In many areas, such as site selection, construction cost, environmental issues, zoning regulations, competition in the market place, historical performance, and an up to date knowledge of market trends. In order to ensure the best chance of success, make sure you have an agent working for you that understands all of the variables that impact your decision and can help you get all of the information you need.
