A great commercial investment is one that aligns with your long-term goals. Not just the cap rate on paper.
Strong investments typically offer:
-Reliable tenant demand (local businesses, professional services, mom-and-pop shops)
-Stable or increasing net operating income
-A good location with visibility and traffic
-Low vacancy risk
-A manageable maintenance profile
We help you analyze income, expenses, market trends, and future use potential so you can make a confident, well-informed investment that supports your financial goals.
Commercial due diligence is more detailed than residential, and we guide you through every step.
It typically includes:
-Financial review: leases, rent rolls, CAM charges, operating expenses
-Environmental research: Phase 1 assessment, historical use review
-Zoning + permitted use verification
-Inspection of building systems: HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical
-Tenant analysis: payment history, lease terms, renewal likelihood
-Market analysis: comparable rents, vacancy rates, area development
The goal is to uncover risks, confirm income stability, and ensure the property fits your long-term strategy.
A 1031 exchange allows real estate investors to sell one investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another, tax deferred.
This means you can:
-Upgrade to a higher-performing property
-Move into a different commercial category (ex: retail to mixed used)
-Consolidate or diversify your portfolio
-Preserve capital by deferring capital gains taxes
We help you identify qualifying properties, stay within IRS timelines, and coordinate with your 1031 exchange intermediary to keep your exchange on track.
Every commercial property has zoning rules that determine how it can be used.
Common zoning categories include:
-Retail / Commercial
-Office / Professional
-Industrial / Warehouse
-Mixed-Use
-Special purpose
Within those categories, towns may further restrict:
-Types of businesses allowed
-Occupancy limits
-Parking requirements
-Hours of operation
-Building modifications or signage
We research zoning, check permitted uses, review town ordinances, and confirm whether your intended use is allowed, before you make an offer.
Most commercial transaction take 45 - 90 days depending on:
-Financing requirements
-Environmental testing
-Tenant-related documentation
-Municipal approvals
-Inspection complexity
Cash purchases and simple buildings can close faster.
Properties with multiple tenants, environmental history, or complex zoning may take a bit longer.
Our role is to keep the process organized and moving smoothly so you can always know what's next.
Yes! Commercial properties can be financed through:
-Commercial loans
-SBA loans (Great for owner-occupants)
-Portfolio lenders
-Local banks
-Private lenders
Down payments for commercial loans typically range from 15% - 30%, depending on the property type, income stability, and your financial profile.
We connect you with trusted commercial lenders who understand the local market and can structure financing that aligns with your goals.
