Investment Options

There are numerous types of investments to choose from when adding real estate to your portfolio. Our team of experts can guide through the process of choosing the perfect real estate investment to help you achieve your goals.

Residential Real Estate

Investing in residential real estate normally involves homes and apartments that are leased as residential dwellings. It can also include real estate that has an integrated service business such as a senior assisted living facility or a luxury apartment building with a full-service concierge team. The lease terms for this type of real estate can vary but are normally valid for one year. This allows for a quicker, more cost-effective adjustment to market conditions than some other types of real estate investments.

Commercial Real Estate

This type of investment predominantly consists of office buildings and professional spaces. These typically involve long-term leases, valid for many years. Fully leased commercial real estate with long-term tenants can provide a steady and consistent income, even if the lease rates on comparable properties declines. By the same token, if comparable rates increase, that income could end up being significantly lower than the current market value.

Industrial Real Estate

Similar to commercial real estate, industrial properties can include storage units, warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. This type of investment can provide a stable and predictable source of income. They also typically involve lower operational risks and fewer capital expenditures than some other investment properties.

Retail Real Estate

Another investment option is retail space such as shopping centers, strip malls, or conventional malls. This type of real estate can house a variety of tenants including merchants, salons, restaurants and more. The lease terms for these properties sometimes include a percent of the tenants’ revenue. This will not only increase your income but allow you to make upgrades to increase the property value and make it more appealing to consumers.

Multi-Use Real Estate

This type of investment property could include any combination of the previously mentioned option. For example, you could invest in a large building with retail space on the first level and residential or office space on the upper levels, providing a diversified investment for your portfolio.
