Over the past two centuries, investing in commercial real estate has been a highly successful method to accumulate assets and wealth. The power of leverage is the ability to make one dollar buy ten dollars of real estate. As income comes in from tenants, the mortgage is paid, values increase and net income is generated.
Today, the power to leverage has been greatly reduced since the 2008 crash. The loss of liquidity of ample credit from lenders has slowed down the transactions of retail centers, warehouses and office buildings.
Yet well located commercial properties remain well leased and generating far greater revenue than holding cash, or investing in low yielding bank CD's or government bonds. Commercial buildings are built of brick, steel, and mortar, and do not vanish like value of stocks held in the up and down stock market of the past decade.
Are there deals in commercial real estate? Yes. Opportunities to purchase well located property that will generate income for many generations are on the market for sale. There are few buyers today and therefore prices have been lowered.
There is huge difference between buying a commercial building just because it is a good price and buying a commercial building because it has excellent location, is correctly leased and has infrastructure to be relevant for leasing market for years. Commercial real estate brokers are licensed to help make sure you are getting the best valued property that will fulfill your goals for increasing your future wealth. We believe that you should always pursue the property that will be generating income for your family in future generations as well as today.
Examples of properties that we recommend are hilltop views over the Mississippi River, locations around Universities, and locations in areas with a strong potential for future development.
