Experts from Swiss Appraisal (Switzerland) has studied the segments of commercial real estate in 200 countries around the world. The most stable situation is observed only in 65 countries.

The success of your investment project is determined at the stage of selection of the object. However, each proposal is unique, it has its strengths and weaknesses. As a result, a dwelling house can sometimes bring even more revenue than the premise for supermarket, and “secondary” housing is sometimes more profitable than the new buildings. The location and type of the object is one of the main criterias, but not the only one.
The main point is not to go to extremes and do not seek to buy properties with maximum yield. Because the second pan of the scale always there are your risks of a shortfall in profits. For example, due to the fact that you don’t have a tenant for your premise.
If you are focused on a long-term investment, choose the shopping area that already has a real reliable tenant – a well-known company from the food retail for example, bank, clothing stores, etc.
Important parameters are: the duration of the lease, the rent, the terms on which the contract may be extended, the system of taxation, the maintenance costs of the object.
