Commercial Real Estate vs. Residential Investments
Comparing commercial real estate to residential properties reveals several distinct advantages.
Higher Income Potential
Commercial properties typically offer better returns, averaging 6-12% compared to 1-4% for residential properties.
Longer Lease Terms
Commercial leases often extend for multiple years, providing stable and predictable income.
Lower Tenant Turnover
Businesses tend to stay longer in a location to avoid the costs associated with moving.
Triple Net Leases
In many commercial leases, tenants cover property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, reducing overhead costs for landlords.
