Investing in Commercial Property

For serious investors, commercial property can be a lucrative purchase. Commercial property is a valuable resource that can be costly-but has a high ROI if managed properly.

A commercial property investment has a primary goal of generating income. You want your investment to work for you. Based on current market trends and future projections, you need to be sure that the value of the property will appreciate so that should you you need to, you can sell the property at a profit.

It is rare that you will have all the necessary capital necessary to invest in a new commercial property. Financing may be a crucial part of your investment. You will likely require a commercial property loan. To prepare for this loan, you you will need documentation on your business operations, your financial status and earning potential and the property title deed. While it is a buyer's market, lenders are none-to-eager to make loans unless they have assurances that their investments are protected.

You have your pick of plenty of great commercial properties, so shop around before choosing a piece of property. Your commercial real estate agent will be able to assist you in finding the best property for your needs and budget.

Investing in commercial property can be a smart way to grow your money, but not everyone can be successful--there are many factors that come into play, so take all the necessary precautions by choosing a good agent, using caution when choosing a property and hiring a reliable property management company.

Selling a Commercial Property

Dear Property Manager,

I need to know the best way to go about selling a commercial property. My business partner and I own a 15,000 square foot property and a small bit of land near Charlotte. We are interested in selling the land and the building--although we know that a buyer may want to take it down and re-build.

Can you suggest the best way to advertise the property or find builders who might be interested in the land? Over the last few years several buildings have gone up near us, and maybe the property owners would like to expand…How do I contact these people?

Thank You,

Howard H.

In your case, I recommend that the best way to go about selling of the property is to contact our commercial real estate division at 803.802.0004. Commercial real estate agents specialize in leasing, some in land development, and others in sales—so it is important to make sure the company or agent you work with has specialties in selling and development, to find the right buyer. Kuester works in all of these arenas, and has significant experience in the Charlotte area. We will work with you in as a commercial agent and assist you in pricing the property appropriately, finding potential buyers and negotiating an offer to purchase, and handling all of the details involved.

We look forward to talking with you soon.

Best regards,
Property Manager
