6 Signs That a Neighborhood Is Safe

Image
best bienes realtor When you are planning on purchasing a home or renting one, there is a lot you must consider apart from the property’s features and price.

3 Things to Know About Buying Commercial vs Residential Property

Image
best bienes realtor Welcome to the jungle, folks—it’s property investment time. Before you start throwing your cash into the real estate ring, let’s size up two heavyweights: Commercial and Residential properties. They’re like distant cousins at a family BBQ—similar, but with their own quirks. Strap in as we unpack the key things that separate the two. Lease Lengths: The Long and Short of It So, diving headfirst into the nitty-gritty, lease lengths in these two worlds are as different as chalk and cheese. Residential properties usually have you looking at short-term agreements—think one year or so. Great for flexibility, but not always for stability in terms of ROI over time. Jump to commercial properties? It’s a whole new ball game. You’re talking five, maybe ten years on a lease. Imagine that—a decade-long commitment from your tenant! It’s kind of like getting married to your rent check—it’s in it for the long haul. What this means is you could be sipping margaritas
