Can commercial agents like myself sell residential real estate?
What do I consider a risky versus a safe investment? How can a risky investment be identified?
So you’re a commercial investor, and you’re looking to reduce your risk in every single transaction.
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, I’m Cynthia Peacock. I’m the founder and owner of Virtuoso Realty Group. We are a New York City-based commercial real estate group that focuses on helping owners acquire and/or transact on Commercial Real Estate and helping tenants identify solutions for their commercial real estate needs.
So I was asked, “how do real estate agents get paid?”
I would recommend a few things before you decide to jump into any investment with people called “friends” and/or “family.”
When is the right time to sell your commercial property? Commercial real estate, as you know if you’re an investor and you’re a long-term buyer and/or seller, you know this market goes up and down and has cycles.
What type of documentation are you going to have to be prepared with to get a commercial loan?
So we talk a lot about when is a good time to buy commercial real estate, but what about the other side of that? When is a good time to quit the business and move forward?
Are you looking to buy a multi-family asset in the next three years? All these different things are going to play into your experience as an owner. If you’re not comfortable taking those risks, take a step back and reconsider investing in real estate.
