4 Hints that a Commercial Investment Property May Be Successful  

There is more to successful investing than NOI, cap rate, and cash-on-cash. These metrics are essential, but what drives those metrics is the key to success. Here are four attributes that we believe are signs that an investment property will be successful:

1. It’s in the right location – Yes, you have to start with an excellent location and it’s not just about the market in which the property is located. It also includes proximity to amenities and competition, which all work together to give you a basis for a successful investment.
2. There is easy access – Owning a commercial property on the best street in town means nothing to your tenants if access is an issue. Let’s say you’re interested in acquiring a strip mall in a busy part of town, but you notice there are no stoplights nearby or no major roads accessible. If a tenant’s customer cannot get in and out quickly, you may be hard-pressed to stay at full occupancy.
3. Repairs and upkeep have been attended to – Worn-out buildings are an eyesore for potential tenants. Staying on top of maintenance is imperative. Prospective tenants will want to see that items like parking lots, signs, roofs, and landscaping are kept in good condition. View the overall look of the commercial property you’re considering purchasing. The right conditions could entice brand-name tenants.
4. The leasing process is seamless – Getting hung up on paperwork and lack of communication turns away many tenants. Investment properties that have a simple method for leasing are much more enticing. Choose to work with a property management company like The Estes Group, to step in and make the leasing process seamless.
