If you’re ready to invest in real estate, one big decision is whether to buy residential properties (homes, condos, rentals) or commercial properties (offices, retail, industrial). Both can be lucrative, but the choice depends on your goals.
Why Investors Choose Residential
-
Easier entry point with smaller budgets.
-
Constant demand for housing.
-
Easier financing options.
Why Investors Choose Commercial
-
Longer lease terms (often 5–10 years).
-
Higher rental yields compared to residential.
-
Tenants often cover maintenance (NNN leases).
Which Is Right for You?
Residential works well for first-time investors and those wanting steady rental demand. Commercial suits investors seeking higher returns and willing to manage larger deals.
