Are you thinking about getting a commercial real estate loan? Whether you are a small business owner or looking to invest in a rental property, getting a commercial loan is likely much different than the experience of getting a residential home loan.
Investing in commercial real estate, whether it is an office building, retail space, industrial property, or multi-family residential dwelling, is an avenue that may offer significant financial growth opportunities.
That is where a trusted team of commercial mortgage brokers like Penn Street Mortgage comes in. You want to ensure you are making a smart financial decision and have a trusted partner in the loan process.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you prepare to take on a commercial mortgage.
Why Invest in Commercial Real Estate?
Commercial properties can offer long-term returns that can outperform any investment into residential properties, thanks to their large income streams and the potential for your property to appreciate in value.
Some reasons you might be thinking of getting a commercial mortgage include:
- Income Potential: Commercial properties typically get a higher annual return on the original purchase price than single-family homes.
- Long-term Leases: Commercial leases are usually longer than those of residential units, providing a more extended, more predictable income stream.
- Low Occurrence of Vacancies: With longer leases, vacated commercial spaces can be offset by ongoing rent from other leased units within the property.
Whatever reason you want to explore commercial loans, having a good commercial mortgage broker can make all the difference in your experience.
