Commercial Real Estate Investing in Michigan

Commercial real estate offers the greatest variety in property types, from farm land to self-storage units to office buildings to apartment complexes and more.

The capital requirements are higher, but so are the potential returns.

Investing in commercial real estate involves understanding how to value the properties, determine highest and best use, conduct proper due diligence and arrange for investors and financing and a competent operating partner.

Allow Arbor Advising to guide you through the acquisition of your next commercial property or passively invest in your next commercial property.

What are the advantages of investing in commercial real estate properties?

  1. Passive investors are more interested in the returns offered by commercial properties.

  2. It’s easier to add value by improving operations with commercial properties.

  3. The financing is based on the property and less on you personally.

What are the disadvantages?

  1. Has greater capital requirements to acquire and usually involves partners, joint ventures, or working with accredited passive investors in a syndication or fund.

  2. Investing in commercial property requires that you have the right team in place to ensure the projected returns are realized.

  3. When working with partners or passive investors, it’s important to realize the projected returns and have a sound exit plan to refinance or sell the property once the value has been added.

Testimonials


“Jeff's negotiating skills helped us to close a deal on our home while ensuring all parties, us as buyers and the sellers, were satisfied with the final transaction. Throughout the process, Jeff's knowledge, experience, and high ethical standards were always present. I have and will continue to recommend Jeff.”

— Andrew

Working with Jeff Roth to purchase our property was the best decision we made. He was responsive and attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about market trends and local communities, and endlessly patient showing properties and answering questions. It was evident he genuinely cared about finding the right home for each family, and knew how to make that happen. The transaction was efficient, but not rushed. He also had a great network of people who were able to handle the details smoothly for us, including a few curveballs we did not expect.

— Christine

“From the very beginning, Jeff was professional, up-front, and very detailed in helping us through the process and telling us exactly what we needed to do. He was extremely helpful during the negotiation process with the banks. Even after we moved out of the country, he was able to keep us posted on the process, and advising us on what needed to do be done to get the deal to close while we were out of the country. We were really blessed to have him as our agent during the process and would highly recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs
