by Brad Broyles
Commercial real estate investing can be very rewarding, both financially and personally. For many business owners and entrepreneurs, the objective of investing in commercial real estate is for wealth and security, which can be grown into a portfolio and passed down to future generations. Commercial real estate also offers an abundance of tax benefits for investors and increased diversity on their investments.

Commercial real estate investment offers the following advantages:
Higher Potential Income: The biggest reward of investing in commercial real estate is higher potential income. Typically, commercial properties have a better return on investment, which could average from five to twelve percent, while single-family home properties struggle between one and four percent annually.
Longer Leases: The hallmark of commercial real estate is the attractive length of leasing contracts. Residential properties are typically set for one year, while commercial leasing contracts are set for three up to twenty years. These leases offer impressive returns and considerable monthly cash flow to investors.

Cash Flow: Commercial investing has one very clear advantage: a relatively consistent stream of income. Remember, the tenants are business professionals and need the property for company operations. Therefore, rental payments are steady and thus deemed a reliable monthly income. Some commercial properties consist of more that 1 unit, resulting in multiple streams of income.
Tenants Pay Property Expenses: In most leases, tenants will also pay operating expenses on a commercial property. This is commonly known in the industry as triple net (NNN) lease. Triple net leases generally state that the lessee must pay the building’s real estate taxes, property insurance and maintenance costs, in addition to monthly rent.
Lower Vacancy Risk: Another perk, is that commercial real estate provides lower vacancy risk with leases spread over several units or properties. Typically, vacancy rates range between ten to fifteen percent and can be leased within two to four months.
