Categories of Real Estate
If you're intent on developing, acquiring, or owning, or flipping real estate, you can better come to an understanding of the peculiarities of what you're facing by dividing the real estate into several categories.
Residential
Residential structures are
properties such as houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, and vacation houses
where a person or family pays you to live in the property.
Commercial
The commercial property
consists mostly of things like office buildings and skyscrapers. It may
not be possible to participate as the office building is locked into the old
agreements.
Industrial
Industrial real estate
investments often have significant fee and service revenue streams,
such as adding coin-operated vacuum cleaners at a car wash, to increase the
return on investment for the owner.
Retail
Retail properties consist of
shopping malls, strip malls, and other retail storefronts. In some cases, the
landlord also receives a percentage of sales generated by the tenant store in
addition to a base rent to incentivize them to keep the property in top-notch
condition.
Mixed-Use
Mixed-use properties are those
that combine any of the above categories into a single project.
The bank, which lent him the
money, took out a lease on the ground floor, generating significant rental
income for the owner. The other floors were leased to a health insurance
company and other businesses.
