The commercial real estate business can be
very unforgiving, however, you can make it work for you. Before you start your new
venture as a realtor there are a few things that you should do prior to inking
your first deal.
The commercial real estate business can be
very tough when you are just starting out. As with any craft, there are
different things that you have to take into consideration. For example, the
real estate business can go through a feast and famine period. The recession in
the U.S. a few years ago is a perfect example of this. Before the recession hit
a lot of investors were buying up property at low prices and trying to turn a
profit by selling really high. After the market bubble burst there were not a
lot of properties being sold.

to people who have been in this business for years. They usually have a myriad

After educating yourself on the commercial real estate business you now
have to apply your knowledge.
You have a mission that you want to
accomplish, but you cannot complete your goal if you never take the plunge.
Like most coaches say, “You can practice all you want, but now it’s time for
the real game.” You want to start out by scoping the prospective places you may
want to invest in. Spend time in different parts of your city; go as far as
visiting surrounding cities to see if there are any commercial real estate properties that you would be interested in. You
want to set a set a price of what you are willing to pay and the lowest price
you are willing to sell your property for.

Where are the best places to look for commercial real estate opportunities?
One way you can
find potential commercial real estate
buys is by going through public records. Most of the time you will be able to find
a couple of homes that are either being foreclosed by using public records. A
lot of commercial real estate
investors will also drive around looking for distressed and abandoned
properties that need some refurbishments. This is called, “driving to dollars.
After finding the right place, you want to make sure everything is up to code
and the property is safe to live in or work in.

To find a
potential buyer, you want to begin by asking around to see who is looking for a
new home. Family members and friends are great options to begin with. Once you
find a buyer make sure that you negotiate a fair price for both parties.
