A succinct look at commercial real estate investment strategy that everyone can benefit from.

I would comment that financing can be a bit tricky. This is where your advisor can assist and finding a good commercial real estate advisor is also tricky. 3 things to consider: 1) look at that person’s back ground. Is it in commercial real estate? Or is it in residential? 2) has that advisor done any transactions in the asset or sub-market you are considering? 3) ask the prospective advisor to show you examples of a Proforma they have created themselves, with examples of different loans they have applied to development of the Proforma. This is a key item that separates the part time advisor from the one who has a depth of experience that will help you structure a transaction that mitigates risk while reaching your investment objectives.

In today’s market, even if the “double dip” does occur, utilizing this strategy can offer investors a buying opportunity that will create significant wealth. Real estate is a long term hold and while this article discusses the challenges associated with flipping, it seems to be pointing out the problem that caused real estate values to plummet in the first place.  Investors saw real estate as easy money”…simply buy and the cash will come rolling in. Acquiring a property to flip, unless it is part of a strategy associated with a sophisticated investment fund, is risky.

Preparations should be underway for the tax changes coming in 2011

As we enter the second half of 2010, many investors are concerned with the expiration of the 2000 tax rate reductions. As of January 1, 2011 we should expect a return of higher marginal rates to those of a decade earlier.  Proper planning and adjustments in investment strategies can help to lessen the impact of these changes. While we can all hope for an act of congress, prudent planning should be the course of action through the end of the year.

A recent article in C-Suite Quarterly by advisors Alan S. Hopkins addresses how “tax wise” asset allocation strategies can help.  Real estate can play an important role in creating these strategies.
