Why Real Estate

Advantages of Investing in Real Estate

Commercial real estate can offer investors multiple sources of potential return, including recurring income, equity growth, appreciation and valuable tax-planning opportunities.

Current Income

Cash-on-Cash Return

Stabilized commercial properties with established tenants can generate recurring rental income. After operating expenses and debt service, a portion of the remaining cash flow may be distributed to investors, often on a monthly basis.

These distributions can provide a consistent income stream while investors retain ownership in an asset with the potential to appreciate.

Equity Growth

Through Debt Reduction

Commercial real estate investments frequently use financing to acquire properties. As tenants pay rent, a portion of the property’s cash flow may be used to reduce the loan’s outstanding principal.

Each principal payment can increase investor equity without requiring additional capital. That equity may contribute directly to investor returns when the property is refinanced or sold.

Property Appreciation

Long-Term Value Creation

Real estate has the potential to appreciate due to market conditions, inflation, increasing rental income and strategic property improvements.

Value may also be created through renovations, leasing vacant space, redevelopment or new construction. Investors may realize a significant portion of their total return when an appreciated property is sold.

Tax Advantages

Through Depreciation

Eligible commercial properties may be depreciated over a 27.5- or 39-year schedule, depending on the property type. Depreciation creates a non-cash expense that may offset a portion of the investment’s taxable income.

Additional benefits may be available through cost-segregation studies and bonus depreciation when applicable.

Tax Deferral and Estate Planning

Long-Term Wealth Preservation

Investors may be able to defer capital-gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of qualifying property through a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. This strategy may allow an investor to continue growing a real estate portfolio without immediately recognizing taxable gains.

When qualifying real estate is held until death, heirs generally receive a step-up in cost basis to the property’s fair market value. Together, tax deferral and stepped-up basis can make commercial real estate a valuable tool for intergenerational estate planning.
