  • Investing in commercial real estate requires a combination of knowing what types of property you’re looking for and what works best for your financial situation. The best way to get started in commercial real estate is to research the type of property you’re most interested in for your next stage of investing. From there, find ways to align yourself with the right people who can help move you closer to your goals. Very few investors can move toward meaningful investment opportunities without the right network of people and resources.

  • Commercial and residential real estate investments both have significant potential for impact. While differences exist on multiple fronts, the primary delineation between them is in how commercial property is valued differently from residential investment property. Commercial real estate is primarily valued based on usable square footage. Beyond that, investors must realize that lease agreements vary based on industry and market timing, and these commercial leases are generally different from any traditional residential lease.

  • Depending on the avenue for commercial real estate investment that you choose to pursue, different levels of access and opportunities are available to you. Some investment funds are restricted to accredited investors, meaning an investor must meet SEC thresholds for financial solvency. Qualifying for financing for investment properties depends upon the lending institution and the terms of the sale or the functions or purposes of the property.

  • Commercial real estate exists in five different types of property: industrial, office, retail, multifamily, and special purpose. Because different commercial purposes determine what income-generating potential a property has and how that property value can be determined, prospective investors must know the type and value of the property they’re pursuing. They must also be aligned with the right resources and people to make that investment possible.

  • By and large, most individuals who have made significant strides in their financial health have pursued real estate investing in some capacity. The typical commercial investment returns between 6% and 12% annually, which is in line with returns in equity markets. Determining whether it’s the right time for you to invest or whether you’re in a financial or strategic position to move into commercial real estate investing depends upon your long-term financial goals.

  • Non-accredited investors are those who do not meet the minimum SEC requirements. The SEC (Securities & Exchange Commission) sets income or net worth requirements for investors. Current SEC requirements specify that, for an investor to be accredited, they must have a net worth of over $1,000,000 ($1M) or more than $200,000 in earned income in the last 2 calendar years. Many investment funds and management groups will only work with accredited investors.
