Read This Important Information About.

Investing in commercial properties is not the same game as home buying. Keep reading to discover strategies on how to come out ahead in the commercial real estate buying market.

Negotiating is essential. Ensure that your voice is heard, and that you are offering-or receiving-a price that is fair for both parties.

real estate investmentBe patient and calm while you navigate purchasing commercial real estate. Don't enter into any investment opportunity without doing the proper amount of research. You'll regret it quickly if your lack of research results in a property without much re-sale value. It may take a year for your needed investment to come about in the market.

Don't become greedy and over-inflate your real estate asking price. Most appraisers can't take all factors into account because there are an infinite number of variables involved in determining the value of a piece of property. These variables can all make your property worth less than the appraisal claims it is worth.

Your investment might be very time consuming at first. You will have to hunt for a good opportunity, and once you have bought property, you might have to do some repairs or remodel it. Don't let the amount time you need to put in during this phase discourage you. Your rewards are down the road, and they are worth it.

When choosing a broker, ask about their experience specifically in the commercial real estate market. Choose one that specializes in your area of interest. When you find the right broker, make sure your agreement is exclusive.

Before you begin seeking commercial real estate property, be sure to identify your requirements. Draw up a list including all the features your ideal property should have, such as property size and location, or the total number of restrooms, offices, etc.

If you plan to rent out a commercial property, you should do all you can to make sure they stay occupied. When you have an open space, you have to shell out the money to keep it looking great and running well. If you have more than one empty property, think about why that may be, and consider what you may be doing to drive tenants away.

Try to decrease potential events of defaults before negotiating a lease. That will cut down on the likelihood that the tenant defaults on a lease. This is a bad thing, so do what you can to minimize the chance of it happening.

Assess what you need before you look for commercial properties. List the qualities that concern you most in a property (e.g. restroom facilities, conference facilities, number of units available, square footage, etc.)

Your new space may need improvements before you can occupy it. Cosmetic changes like painting walls and rearranging furniture might be needed. The change could be significant like moving an entire wall to work with a new floor plan. Remind the landlord that these improvements are necessary, and use them to negotiate a lower deposit or reduced rent.

It should now be apparent that you need to consider any commercial real estate transaction from multiple angles. Keep this advice in mind so that you may get better deals when searching for the location of your business.

Kanye West almost pursued an athletic career to win over Kim Kardashian. At least that’s what he joked about during an appearance on the “Kris Jenner Show,” Us Weekly reports.

On the episode that was taped Monday, the rap mogul told Kris Jenner he’s been “so in love” with her daughter that he thought about “playing sports” to win over the reality-TV starlet, since she dated a slew of athletes before getting together with him in April 2012.

Kardashian was previously married to Nets player Kris Humphries and dated NFL star Reggie Bush on and off for several years

Video And Pics After The Jump

 

Rapper's always brag about "keeping it real." One Brooklyn, New rapper named Neno Best, real name Mathew Best, kept it so real he helped the NYPD bring down a ring of gun dealers.

 

Best posted photos on Instagram of guns and cash. He also made a video on YouTube bragging about "packing more guns than the Air Force."

Best's boasts led to an investigation that led to his arrest along with 18 others. More than 200 guns were seized, including SKS semi-automatic Soviet-era rifles that are capable of shooting through "a project door, through the next door, through a wall, through the next wall into the next apartment" sources told the New York Daily News"That will go through a car, a cop's armor. That will go through anything we've got."

It's the largest gun bust in New York City history.

 

"Thank God these guns are off the streets," Mayor Bloomberg said at Police Headquarters.

26-year old Best was selling guns out of his studio. The investigation into his activities led to Adeji Omole, who was buying guns from two men in the Carolinas.

Authorities used wiretaps and surveillance to penetrate the ring. One undercover agent was able to purchase many of the weapons over the last year

 

Earl Campbell, 23, of Rock Hill, S.C. is accused of selling 90 guns, including two assault rifles, for nearly $75,000, during 24 meetings with the undercover officer beginning in October.

Walter Walker, 29, of Sanford, N.C., is accused of selling 116 guns, including five assault weapons and a machine gun, for $82,000 during 19 meetings with the undercover detective over 10 months beginning last September.

 

Walker and Campbell would bring their weapons to New York on buses to Chinatown. They would then sell them to Adedji, authorities said.

“There is no doubt that the seizure of these guns – the largest bust in the city’s history – has saved lives,’’ Mayor Bloomberg said in a statement. “For that reason, every New Yorker, in every part of our city, owes a debt of thanks to all those involved in this investigation.”
