Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered commercial real estate?
In general, commercial real estate involves property that is intended to be used for business purposes that is profit-generating rather than for residential living purposes. Keep in mind that this can include retail locations, shopping centers, industrial warehouses, restaurants, hotels, etc., but it can also include multi-family properties, apartment buildings, high-rises, and so forth.
Is a title search necessary for commercial real estate?
Absolutely. Any time you purchase a piece of property - commercial or residential - you want to make sure that the title is clear. Otherwise, once sold, everything that is attached to the property then becomes your problem. For instance, if there are any liens or judgments that don’t get cleared up before it sells, then they come with the property. It will be your responsibility to clear them up before you can sell.
Do I need title insurance for a commercial property?
Yes, of course. Title insurance protects against any title defects that may have been missed in the title search. This is always highly recommended as a means of protecting your rights to the property - especially since it covers the cost of legal defenses.
What is a 1031 tax-deferred exchange?
The Internal Revenue Code, Section 1031 allows you to defer paying taxes on capital gains resulting from the sale of an investment property - assuming that you are going to reinvest those gains into another property within a specified amount of time. This is very common amongst investors.
