What Are Commercial Properties?

Nancy B. Alston

What defines commercial property? Your choices depend on the type of business you are interested in managing and the location you as a realtor are interested in. Consider the terms of the lease that is being offered and whether or not you desire to share a part of your profits with your landlord along with your base rent. Keep in mind that business park rents are less costly than retail properties. Industrial parks often consist of unfinished spaces but they can be converted and customized to fit your needs as well as be renovated to an upscale site that can accommodate office space. Check out the zoning and ordinances that apply for the type of tenant you will rent to or what restrictions you will be subject to.
