Investor Resources
Smart investors are turning to commercial multi tenant real estate to access higher returns and invest their money in a traditionally inflation-proof asset. However, with so many real estate companies to choose from and a full range of investment options with varying degrees of risk, it can take time to know where to put your money in these uncertain times.
Knowing who to trust and having a successful investment plan is the best way to mitigate losses and maximize returns in a real estate deal.
This blog examines how you can analyze CRE (commercial real estate) investment opportunities to make the right choice for your portfolio and how a leading CRE multi tenant investment company creates real value for investors.
What is Multi-Tenant Real Estate?
Multi tenant property is an asset with multiple commercial units (as opposed to single-tenant properties with only one tenant), each with a lease agreement to the lessor.
An example of a multi-tenant real estate asset could be a strip mall with individual lessees, such as a medical office, restaurant, and beauty salon. Multi tenant is not "multi family" as the lessees are not residential family renters. Instead, tenants in these buildings are businesses running a commercial or retail enterprise.
Diversified multi-tenant real estate assets can be robust investment vehicles with reliable tenants, a lower vacancy risk, and several income streams. In addition, a wide range of sectors can be covered within the asset, delivering resistance to economic trends and downward turns.
Some examples of multi-tenant properties include:
-
Central offices
-
Shopping malls
-
Strip malls
-
Large healthcare centers
Getting in on the right deal can be an excellent investment decision but remember, all investment carries some risk.
Choosing the Right Investment Company
How can investors choose the best opportunity? Use the following steps as a guideline to research potential multi-tenant investment options.
Research The Company
The first and most obvious step to adding the right properties to your investment portfolio is to research options and the individuals behind them.
Real estate deals depend not only on the property but also on the management team and administrators. For example, a stunning strip mall in a select location can still underperform if the team behind doesn't manage the property or tenants well.
Use the following strategies as a foundation for your research in an investment company.
-
Evidence of competency: What is the online presence of the investment company? Do they have thought leadership materials, blogs, and YouTube videos? Do they understand the ins and outs of CRE investment? A quality investment company will be wholly transparent with every step of its process, from its investment approach to its portfolio.
-
Investor engagement: Is the team willing to engage with potential investors? How often do they communicate with investors, and are there multiple methods of contact?
-
Investor support: Do they offer support to investors? Are there portals for communication, educational materials, and more?
A leading investment company should inform and educate active and potential investors. The right commercial multi-tenant investing company also provides support and an environment for businesses to thrive in their managed properties.
