Buyers generally fall into two categories:
1) Owners/ Occupiers, and 2) Investors.
1) Owners / Occupiers:
Forget location.
All right, all right- location
is important. But you need to look beyond that in order
to make your best real estate investment decision. When
you have a business that needs to buy commercial space,
you need to consider the optimum location and configuration
of that space for your business purposes, the future
investment value of the property, and several other
factors. Here are a few of the related issues we help
you analyze so that you can make the best investment
decision possible:
| - |
Area demographics and their impact on your business |
| - |
Your
company's effective rent after all expenses, depreciation,
tax benefits, and other property income |
| - |
Estimated
disposal value in X years |
| - |
Benefits
of the 1031 exchange tax deferral |
| - |
Future
expansion options |
In addition, commercial properties
are often not listed on the internet or in the paper.
Your broker needs to know your search area well, and will
have to call individual brokers or search out unlisted
properties on your behalf. When you hire a broker to find
property, you have someone on
your side who is looking
out for your best interests
at all times. The cost is usually absorbed by the Seller,
so hiring an exclusive buyer's agent is not an extra cost
to the Buyer. Whether you are planning to spend $200,000
or $20,000,000, you want someone who knows your goals,
the local market, and the financial benefits and pitfalls
of each option. We will show you the way.
2) Investors:
It's all about the money.
Of course you want to invest in good, clean properties
that add value to the surrounding area, but what you
really want to do is make the best return on your money
with the least amount of headache and risk. And then
you want to do it again.
As you know, most great real estate
investments are not listed for sale. The best investments
are unearthed by having a strong network among local
and regional brokers, developers, and other investors.
We find properties for our investor clients because
we spend time cultivating these relationships and building
a database of every relevant owner, buyer or broker.
When the right property becomes available, we spring
into action for our buyer clients because we know if
it's good- it won't be around by the end of the week.
Once we have a potential deal in our
sights- we start crawling all over the property. Brad
has built custom houses, reconstructed historic commercial
buildings, and sold many types of investment property
in North Carolina and New York. He can tell you quickly
if the property needs work and estimate a price range
of repairs. Reynolds starts hitting the spreadsheets,
analyzing the investment from every angle with our proprietary
investment models. He has literally thousands of hours
under his belt creating Excel-based financial models,
and can quickly create a customized analysis for you
with your own return, expense, financing, and disposal
timing assumptions.
In the end, you will decide if
the deal is right for you. We just try to make that
decision easier and more profitable.
