COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Commercial real estate comprises a vast array of real estate investments. These are commonly grouped into three categories: Investment, Commercial and Industrial, (ICI). Only a small number of Realtors are equipped to professionally practice commercial real estate. (Jim Reid is professionally accredited to practice commercial real estate by TREB.) 

Many Commercial practitioners tend to specialize in certain property types and thus have active clients who buy and sell in their speciality. For example, Jim Reid has close associates who specialize in: Golf Courses, Office Buildings, Apartment Buildings, Industrial Leasing, etc. etc.

Investment:

Investment real estate properties tend to be ``passive`` purchases by a real estate investor. These comprise a multitude of property types, including: rental condos, rental apartment or office buildings, plazas, retail buildings, raw land, building lots, etc.

A key criteria is that these properties generate an income for the purchaser or they may be held to incur a capital gain at a later date. They are not to be confused with investments in securities against buildings such as MURBS used for tax deferral purposes.

Individuals and corporate interests may be involved in making commercial Investment property purchases.
