6 Essentials for Commercial Real Estate Investment Planning in the Twin Cities, New Richmond & Hudson Area

6 Essentials for Commercial Real Estate Investment Planning

You do know that investing in commercial real estate in Wisconsin offers multiple benefits to smart investors, right?

Well, there is no doubt about the merits to haul in this investment; however investing in commercial real estate can be a worrisome procedure, especially for amateurs.

That is why, before purchasing of any commercial property, investors should be thorough with details to make certain that the commercial property supports their investment plan.

Below are listed six straightforward essentials that will help you in investment planning of commercial real estate in Wisconsin.

Essential #1: Cash Flow and Potential Appreciation
Cash Flow
The aim of cash flow features is for them to be more of a submissive investment that requires minimum expertise, particularly when you make a comparison with a Value Add property.

  • If the commercial property you are going to buy in Wisconsin has a minimum monthly cash flow, why do you think it’s not a fair deal?
  • If the commercial property has a monthly cash flow but includes other risk factors, does that mean it is a good decision for you?

Your answer to these two questions will help you to get clarity.

On the other hand, Value Add property is a dynamic strategy with typical low cash flow. You need to be dependent on your local team to efficiently meet every phase. Conversely, once the value is added to the property, then naturally you will start observing an increase in cash flows. Plus, when you finally make the decision of commercial property for sale in Wisconsin you will notice higher sales value.

Please note that when investing in multi-family investment properties, you must decide what type of project you want to purchase – cash flow project or value add a project.

Potential Appreciation
As you examine commercial real estate in Wisconsin, you will believe in its potential appreciation. Don’t forget to consider factors such as demand for business and the rise in the rental price in Wisconsin.

This will help you to determine your “acceptable time frame” for investing in commercial property and “appreciation anticipation” of the investment.

Essential #2: Triple Net Lease Strategy
A triple net lease (triple-Net or NNN) is a lease agreement where the tenant pays all the commercial real estate taxes, maintenance fees, and building insurance on the commercial property.

This strategy is time and again executed if an investor wants to boost his/her financial portfolio.

Essential #3: Financing Factors

  • Interest Rates

Interest rates for commercial properties are dependent on the current prime rate (i.e least rate), and on bank loans with a fixed or floating interest rate.

  • Amortization

Banks may extend the amortization (AM) phase. Both longer and shorter AM periods have their ups and downs. The time-span of the loan is usually dependent on the time frame of the lease.

Essential #4: Financial Scrutiny 
Financial scrutiny involves a Commercial Rental Property Proforma which is a monetary analysis of the property. To understand Commercial Rental Property Proforma, you need to evaluate the Gross Revenue, Vacancy Rate, Operating Expense, Debt Service, NOI (Net Operating Income), CAP Rate, Cash on Cash (COC), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

It is also important to know the unique aspects of the triple net lease that involves different criteria.

Essential #5:  Property Management Role 
The function of property management in commercial real estate is slightly different from residential property management. A commercial property manager has different functions, based on the property type. For instance, in the case of triple net leases, a commercial property owner will typically not have a property manager.

Furthermore, if the commercial property owner does not interfere or has an inactive approach, then the property management cost will be higher.

Essential#6: Asset Manager
An asset manager can help you in buying a multi-tenant property/multi-unit financed in Wisconsin. These experts can also direct you all the way through the intact procedure, however complicated it may be.

Final Remarks
Investing in commercial real estate in Wisconsin is an effective way to deepen your pockets. This synopsis about the planning of CRE investment in Wisconsin will definitely help you to step ahead towards the lap of luxury.
