Buying Commercial Real Estate in Today’s Market By Yanni A Raz11.12.09

Over the recent months, we have heard a lot of talk about the Real Estate Market and lending market. Although there has been a lot of talk about how people are losing their current homes, or unable to qualify for loans to purchase a home of their choice. We have no heard a lot of talk about the Commercial Real Estate side of things. The reality of it is, investors are taking a beating in this market as well.

With the issue arising with sub prime loans, and the crash of the mortgage market not only are families and individuals suffering, investors are seeing that business is taking a turn for the worse.

“Little Hinges Swing Big Doors”

The story goes something like this: Two people are camping in the woods.

Commercial income property can be evaluated based on property leased for a fee. The fee simple property is appropriate for properties with leases in line with market rent and conditions. Value of buildings leased fee is more appropriate for the properties above or below market rents in the market. Valuing properties with rates lower than market rental based strictly on its real rental rates would diminish its value. Valuing using market rates for hire would overstate its market value.

Precise data is the basis for a reliable conclusion income. This includes information on rental rates, employment rates, new construction, absorption, operating expenses and capitalization rate. Rental rates are usually derived from comparables rent, leases and market data aggregated. The same is true for employment rates. New construction can be obtained from personal observations while doing fieldwork, research and market data aggregated. (more…)
