Property Investment Files: Commercial vs. Residential
Top pros and cons of commercial and residential real estate. The key takeaway? Hire the best property management company and reap the rewards!
(firmenpresse) - There’s no doubt that investing in property can be a fantastic way to make money. Whether you want to go all in and build a large portfolio, or stay small and top up your monthly income, there are a few important things to consider before you jump into the market. Those new to the property rental business will need to make the right decisions early so that they stay on the path to success.
Important factors to start with are considering what kind of risks you are ready to take (or not), what your budget is, and how hands-on you want to be. The latter can be resolved easily by working with a good property management company and it’s probably the best piece of advice you’ll ever get. However, perhaps the first thing to decide is whether you want to invest in commercial or residential real estate. Here are some pros and cons of both.
Becoming a Residential Landlord
Pros
Lower investment: The deposit for this kind of investment is a lot lower than commercial buildings, and getting it ready for renting is also cheaper.
Quick return on investment: Getting this kind of property on the rental market and finding tenants will be a lot faster, so you should be able to see a return on your investment pretty quickly.
High demand: The demand for rental properties in places like Rochester, NY, is high, so if you choose your location carefully, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding new tenants in between leases.
Cons
Responsible for maintenance: As a residential landlord you’ll be responsible for carrying
out regular inspections and sorting out any repairs that are reported. This can cost you time and money, but a good property management company will be able to sort this out for you (they’ll also know which tradesmen offer the best deals.
Can be hard to find: While rental properties are in demand, finding one to buy can be
difficult. They do come up often, but they don’t tend to stay on the market for too long, especially in popular areas like Rochester, NY.
More ongoing costs: As well as the costs of maintenance, there will also be the ongoing
expenses of things like PAT testing and boiler checks. Again, an experienced property management company will take this headache away and ensure everything is up to date and compliant.
Becoming a Commercial Landlord
Pros
Tenant security: In a commercial letting situation, your property management company will carry out more extensive screening tests on tenants and, generally, the tenancy length is a lot longer.
Higher ROI: Return on investment is often a lot higher because you’ll have more earning potential – for example with a building that can be rented out to multiple businesses.
Business hours only: Unlike a residential landlord who is on call 24/7, commercial landlords can only be contacted during business hours.
Cons
Need more money upfront: Mortgage deposits in this situation are a lot higher than residential properties, and you’ll need a much larger emergency fund in case of extra costs.
Business rates: If your property is left vacant for any length of time, you’ll still have to pay business rates, which can be costly.
More paperwork: The documentation for commercial buildings is a lot more complex, which means you’ll spend more time negotiating contracts and filling out forms. This is where having a property management company can be a game-changer, as they will handle all of this for you.
There is a lot to consider before deciding what kind of landlord you want to be. However, with an experienced property management company in your corner, you’ll have a greater chance at success.
