Finding the right place to invest your money is often more challenging of an experience than many people realize. There are risks involved in any investment scenario and it can be difficult to figure out which options are going to yield the biggest results. Though far from a sure thing, commercial real estate is definitely one of the more lucrative areas when it comes to investments. If you think this path might be the perfect fit for your journey, take a moment to review the basics and get a better feel for what to expect.

Why CRE?
The first question many investors have when presented with commercial property options is why this choice is better than residential real estate. This is especially true in recent years, when the fix-and-flip model has offered first-time investors amazing opportunities. Though advantageous, residential properties are still very limiting in what they can offer an investor. With commercial options, an investor is given an opportunity to see a much bigger return and turn a single piece of property into several recurring points of income.
What Are the CRE Property Types?
The main reason commercial real estate is more appealing than residential options is because it can be used in several different ways. The four main categories of CRE include retail, multi-family housing, office, and industrial. Depending on the location of the property itself, you might want to explore any one of these options. Each choice can produce a number of benefits and challenges, so it is wise to think through the pros and cons before making any final decisions. The main goal is to find a property with several units that can be rented out separately.

What Are the Key Benefits of CRE?
Investing in commercial properties is advantageous because it allows the investor a chance to see income that lasts for a long while. Residential properties are only designated to be used by one renter at a time. With a commercial property, you can rent each unit out to a different person or group. This creates a number of points of cash flow that you can rely on each month. Many investors use the funds created by these properties to fund future investments and grow their empires. All it takes to get started is some dedicated research.
