Tips and Ideas about Your Commercial Real Estate Property

The advice of the following article will guide you through the often confusing and complicated world of commercial real estate, and hopefully see you better prepared for succeeding in it.

Devote your time and attention to only one type of investment at any given time. Focusing on offices, land, retail or apartments will help you do well with investing. Every category expects and even needs your complete and undistributed focus. It is better to be a master of just one, than a novice with many.

Buy properties with multiple units. The higher the number of units you have in a property, the more streams of financial income you have from the property. You should take digital photos of the condition. Take pictures of the damages, for instance spots and stains, holes or even discoloration on the bathtub.

When dealing with commercial real estate, it is important to retain the services of a lawyer with a high level of expertise.

While searching through different properties, make a checklist of each tour you went on. Do not proceed past initial proposal responses, unless you inform the property owners. It will likely be to your advantage to informally mention that you are looking at more than one property. You might walk away with more money in your pocket.

Before purchasing commercial real estate, consider the area in which it is located. It’s up to you to clean up any damage or environmental waste associated with your property. Whether you’re a novice or a pro, finding the right piece of commercial real estate can be difficult and nerve-wracking process. The article below will help to lower the stress involved, and have a pleasant experience during your hunt for commercial real estate.

Tips for Buying Investment Properties

Looking to buy an investment property? Here are tips to consider first.

It pays to do thorough research before buying an investmentproperty to ensure you get the best return possible. Here are the 6 golden rules all buyers should consider before leaping into the investment property market.

Cosmic India

Check out the total costs

There can be many ongoing costs when you buy an investment property.

Factor in upkeep and repairs

If you’re buying an apartment also look at how much is in the sinking fund and work needed down the track like painting or whether the roof needs fixing in the near term.

Go where the vacancy rates are low

The old adage, ‘location, location, location’ still rings true for property investment, which means it’s also essential to consider the proximity of the property to essential services like public transport and schools.

Get into the right gear

“If you negatively gear the property makes sure you’re not hemorrhaging money each month,” says Brennan.

Decide between growth or yield

Another deciding factor in any investment property purchase is whether you are buying the property for capital growth or yield.

Choose the right management

Once you’ve purchased your property, Pilkington advises owners to appoint a real estate agent to manage it. “Even though I’m a real estate agent I still pay a real estate to look after my property because I don’t want to have to worry about things like chasing rent or appearing at the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.

Indian laws on gifting of real estate are simple

The popular perception among non-resident Indians is that Indian real estate laws pertaining to inheritance of acquisition by way of gift are very complicated, but that is not really the case. In fact, they are quite simple.

NRIs and persons of Indian origin can acquire residential or commercial property by way of gift from a resident of India or an NRI. On the other hand, a foreign national of non-Indian origin resident outside India cannot acquire residential or commercial property in India by way of gift.

However, any person resident outside India cannot acquire agricultural land/plantation/farm house in India by way of gift.

Cosmic India

In other words, a gift is the transfer of an existing property and not of any future property. It must be made voluntarily and without compensation. It must be accepted by or on behalf of the done. Such acceptance must be made during the lifetime of the donor. The done can even be a minor. Also, the basic element of a gift is that it is given out of natural love and affection.

A deed of gift of an immovable property is required to be registered as provided under the Registration Act signed by or on behalf of the donor and attested by at least two witnesses. The title cannot pass without there being a registered deed of gift.

Sale proceeds of immovable property acquired by way of gift should be credited to a non-resident or NRO, account only. Rules and regulations on gifts very specifically clarify that any ambiguity in terms of process and handover should be avoided. NRIs very often witness such transactions but have no clarity on the process.

India 2nd in Retail Real Estate Investment Momentum Index

India ranks second among top 20 countries with the strongest momentum in retail real estate index and it lags behind China due to weaker investment prospects and a smaller presence of global retailer, according to a report by Cosmic Structure Limited.

Cosmic India

Retail real estate, real estate investment, and India real estate, real estate India Our Retail Real Estate Momentum Index identifies 20 markets with the strongest retail real estate momentum. In top positions are China, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil and Vietnam,” JLL said in its report released today.

China and India, unsurprisingly, top the Index, due to their favorable demographics, rapid urbanization, strong consumption growth and significant expansion of modern retail infrastructures, it said.

However, the consultant observed that “India falls short of China due to weaker real estate investment momentum and a smaller international retailer presence”.

Although, India has permitted 100 per cent FDI in single brand, it is yet to allow FDI in multi-brand retail.

Is the Real Estate Bubble Big Enough to Naturally Burst in 2014?

One of the primary concerns for the real estate sector in the coming year is very clearly this: Will the much talked-about asset bubble inflates further or will it burst?

Cosmic India

2013 was mired in existing challenges such as subdued sales, piles of unsold inventory and builders going bankrupt. These problems will continue in 2014 as well, and, given economic instability, matters could become worse. However, it is very difficult to forecast anything in India as the real estate market is not subject to a fixed pattern. A great degree of political uncertainty, liquidity issues, high interest rates and cautious sentiments are expected to underpin the real estate sector in 2014 too. The only positive energy in this sluggish sector springs from the fact that the sales, though slow, are not stagnant. 

India’s real estate market has been faltering for quite some time as the economy remains under stress. Realty prices have been surging in an unprecedented manner unlike income levels which are not rising. The price increase is mostly speculative and can be attributed to the predominantly capital-driven nature of the sector.

While the cause might be the same at home, the movement of capital across the various geographies in India needs serious analysis. Let us look at each of the significant markets to understand the creation of the asset bubble.

India's real estate market: Time for the bubble to burst?

It is a frequent motto used to emphasize the importance that a location has on the value of a real estate property. The heart of the message is clear -- if you pick the right spot to invest your property in, you can be rewarded with a handsome return on investment.

Cosmic India

The Indian economy is in an interesting stage right now. On one end of the spectrum, signs are pointing towards an economic surge. The Sen-sex hit an all-time high a week ago, the RBI seems to be making all the right moves to curb inflation and bring stability to the rupee and analysts can be frequently heard commentating that finally it's a "trading market". This means the economy is picking up, the share market is ripe for investments and therefore investors and traders can take advantage of the opportunities being presented to earn profits.

So all in all, real estate prices or sales are a great indicator of a country's economy.

The RBI has been consistently raising the  rate, which is the rate that banks are charged to borrow from the RBI- in recent months. These past few days, major banks such as State Bank of India and HDFC Bank raised the rates to obtain loans to purchase houses, and the trend is unlikely to stop as the RBI is expected to continue raising rates to fight inflation.

This all translates to bad news for the real estate market. Home-owners will have a more difficult time obtaining loans to purchase houses. Already, cities such as Mumbai are facing a downturn in the real estate market, despite the mass public perhaps not being aware about it.

Is Crowd funding Deals Safe Real Estate Investments?

The latest trend for people trying to raise money for ventures of all types is called crowd funding or crowd sourcing — where people pool their money to support projects ranging from books, movies and other artistic endeavors to software development and Internet start ups.

Cosmic India

And of course, it would only seem natural that some entrepreneurs would bring this type of capital raising effort to private real estate deals. In fact, thanks to changes in federal laws related to raising capital, the crowd funding options for investing in real estate are open for business!

But is placing your hard-earned cash into a crowd funding real estate deal a smart and safe way to invest your money? Will you earn money? While it is possible, the odds are highly against you.

First, real estate investing, and particularly development deals, is very high risk. Many things can go wrong with real estate, causing significant financial pain and losses to owners. And these crowd funding deals are primarily for commercial investments, which are the riskiest.

Even if the crowd funded deal you are considering is via an experienced developer or investor, there’s still a chance that the deal will go sour. In some cases, the developer will take large fees out of your “investment,” or your money could be stuck in a deal for years, if not a decade or longer.

Real Estate Investment Properties

Many new investors are already inherently comfortable with real estate investing, even if they need a few pointers on how to invest in real estate. In fact, whether or not you've owned a stock or bond in your entire life, the chances are good that you simply get real estate investing. After all, at some point in your life, it is likely that you or someone you know has rented a house or apartment.

In real estate investing, there is no mysterious "Wall Street" to consider, only two parties: A landlord who owns a building and a tenant who wants to rent that building. For the right to use the property, the tenant is willing to pay cash to the landlord. As long as the hot water works and the rent arrives on time, both people are happy.

As a new investor, it is natural that you would consider real estate investing as one of your first choices. The opportunities are much more plentiful than simply buying a house, upgrading the kitchen cabinets and finding a tenant.

Before We Talk About Real Estate Investment Trust India

Before we dive into the different types of real estate investments that may be available to you, I need to take a moment to explain that you should never buy investment real estate directly in your own name. If someone hurts themselves and sues you, you are on the hook for anything above and beyond the insurance settlement. This could lead to personal bankruptcy or at the very least, significant financial hardship.

There are several ways investors can earn passive income from real estate investments:

Residential real estate investments are properties such as houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, and vacation houses where a person or family pays you to live in the property. The length of their stay is based upon the rental agreement, or lease agreement.

Commercial real estate investments consist mostly of office buildings. If you were to take some of your savings and construct a small building with individual offices, you could lease them out to companies and small business owners, who would pay you, rent to use the property.

Likewise, buying a piece of real estate or a building and then leasing it back to a tenant, such as a restaurant, is more akin to fixed income investing rather than a true real estate investment. You are essentially financing a property, although this somewhat straddles the fence of the two because you will eventually get the property back and presumably the appreciation belongs to you.
