Investing in Commercial Real Estate may seem risky. If you do it right though, there are tons of hidden benefits – not to mention the huge profits! Successful real estate investor Rob Rowsell explains how multifamily investments qualify as commercial real estate, just like storefronts and other commercial retailers. Rob also explains the benefits of a Triple Net Lease, and the importance of carrying the right insurance coverage. This is a great primer for real estate investing beginners.
Is Investing In Commercial Real Estate For You?
A participant on a recent Inner Circle Community call joined in on Rob’s Q & A. He recalled the saying that all property investors end up investing in commercial real estate. Is that really true? For Rob, it is, but in more than one way.
Rob explained that real estate professionals refer to multifamily investments as “commercial residential properties”. Since multifamily is Rob’s bread and butter, you could say he is deeply entrenched in investing in commercial real estate.
He also invests in Triple Net Lease properties. These range from single tenant buildings, such as Walmart stores, to strip malls housing multiple businesses. There are variations on the Triple Net Lease model. Rob explains that when you invest in a True Triple Net Lease property, the tenant pays for taxes, insurance, and maintenance. You are free and clear to invest or spend their rent checks, without paying for any of those bills. However, Rob always takes out an additional insurance policy on each property just in case tenants’ policies lapse or get canceled.
