Wednesday, September 11, 2002 Why commercial real estate?
Commercial real estate can help investors weather most any economic storm. That's because regardless of the market, commercial property can continuously change hands with companies looking to expand move to bigger facilities, while companies that are downsizing move to smaller spaces. In addition, government incentives during hard economic times, such as low interest rates, can help investors turn higher profits. In 2001 alone, people who invested in apartments received an annual return on investment of 10 percent, according to the National Council of Real Estate Investment. To minimize their risks, both buyers and sellers often work with commercial real estate firms. Organizations such as the Century 21 Commercial Investment Network (CIN) use diverse resources and marketing tools to help investors better handle the changing dynamics of the economy. Since 1995, Century 21 CIN professionals have helped investors buy and sell industrial sites, office buildings, apartments, retail centers, farms/ranches and other properties.
