To prepare for any sizable investment in commercial real estate, investigate indicators of fiscal health around the property in question, such as average income levels for nearby residents, rates of employment and unemployment, and whether jobs in the area are rising or falling. Properties located near major employers, like hospitals, schools or distribution centers, are often more in demand at every price range.
Make sure to negotiate whether you're the seller or buyer. Make sure you have a voice and that you are offered a reasonable amount of money for the property.
