Property Types
Commercial Property
Commercial property — offices, retail, industrial, and more — behaves quite differently from residential and suits investors with a different risk profile.
A different kind of asset
Commercial property often offers higher yields than residential and longer leases, with tenants sometimes responsible for outgoings such as rates and maintenance. That can mean stronger, more predictable income when a good tenant is in place.
The flip side is that vacancies can last longer and be more costly, since finding a replacement business tenant takes time.
Finance and complexity
Commercial lending typically requires larger deposits and different terms than residential loans. Lease structures, tenant quality, and the wider economy all play a bigger role. This is generally an area for more experienced investors.
