Commercial Property for Residential Investors

For landlords tired of tenant calls at 9pm

Commercial property is let to a business rather than a household, and this book explains it for residential landlords tired of evening calls about boilers and late rent. It is honest that a longer lease is not the same as a safer one: commercial property is valued on its income and the tenant's financial strength, financed on stricter terms with a larger deposit, and when it is empty it can stay empty for a long time while you pay the standing costs. The book explains why the strategy exists and who it suits, asks you to assess honestly whether it fits your temperament and finances, and sets out the four moving parts of a commercial investment in plain terms. You will see what you genuinely need to begin, which barriers residential investors misjudge, and a twelve-month plan to your first unit. A chapter covers the mistakes that cost beginners the most. Next in this series: “Commercial Valuation and Yield”.
