Hunting for a new property for investment? Well, like most potential investors out there, you might be a little confused about which property to park your funds in \u2013 commercial or residential. Deciding between commercial property vs residential property is not one of those decisions you can make overnight. Each option offers its own set of benefits as well as challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an investor, the path you choose to take will depend on your goals, liquid capital, risk tolerance, and time. Here are some points of comparison to help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Returns for property investments depend on various factors like cost of entry, appreciation, and rental potential. In terms of cost of entry, the cost of investing in a residential property is most certainly less than that of a commercial property. However, when you consider the rent potential and longer lease terms, the overall returns on commercial properties exceed residential properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, commercial properties offer higher rental rates than their residential counterparts. Moreover, a commercial property\u2019s lease period is much longer when compared to residential properties. Where residential leases typically range from 6-12 months, commercial leases last from anywhere near 5-10 years. For investors, this translates to lower vacancy rates, lower turnover costs, and a reliable and stable cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price appreciation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The property values are determined differently for commercial and residential properties. For residential property, the price is influenced by comparable properties, location, and surrounding infrastructure. In contrast, the value of a commercial property depends on the cash flow it generates \u2013 the higher the amount of cash a commercial property is making, the higher the property value will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to buy commercial property, make sure you or the tenants who have leased your property have a steady enough cash flow. With such tenants, you could witness an increase in value at a much faster rate than a residential property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard the phrase, \u201cWith great risks come great rewards.\u201d That is precisely the case with commercial properties and their ROI potential. For instance, during an economic crisis, residential properties perform well, whereas businesses are the first to feel the heat from the economic downturn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, commercial investors hoping to attract tenants during an economic slowdown may find marketing to be particularly challenging. Though not immune to the effects of a financial crisis, residential properties are in demand all year round, unlike commercial properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unless you have a huge lump sum amount ready, you may need to borrow some capital for your investment. When it comes to loans, home loans<\/a> have a relatively lower interest rate than commercial property loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, tenure for a commercial property loan is usually shorter than loans for residential properties. You also get a somewhat lower loan-to-value ratio with commercial loans. Where you can fund up to 75%-90% of a house\u2019s value with a loan, you can only fund up to 55% – 60% of commercial properties’ value using a commercial property loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
