Residential and Commercial Investment Properties

When you're looking to invest in a town, the first thing that you should decide is whether you're going to start with either a commercial or a residential investment. In many situations, it's a good idea to have a diversified investments portfolio so that you can ride out the waves of market instability, but when you're first beginning your investments, deciding which type of property you start out with is important. In this section, we're going to look at the kinds of residential and commercial investments that you can find in a town like this one:

Single-Family Properties – By far, this is the most common property type in this town. In fact, almost 85 percent of the homes here are single-family. Primarily, this is a result of this being one of the most desired home types in the country, and you, as an investor, can capitalize on providing people with this part of the American dream.

When you're working with single-family homes, you have the option to either rent out properties to tenants or outright sell the property. Renting can be advantageous to both you and the renter because the renter won't have to deal with an expensive mortgage and the maintenance will fall to you, the landlord.

Conversely, you can benefit from a rental as well because renting provides steady cash flow. Also, at the end of the lease, you can raise the cost of rent to match the surrounding rental market.

When you're opting to invest to sell, you're typically trying to force the appreciation of the property so that you can make a profit. While this can be somewhat labor-intensive, this "flipping" can be a great way to make some money off of your investment.

Multi-Family Properties – Rather than purchase a single-family residential property, you can purchase one that can accommodate multiple families. Multi-unit properties can be very profitable, especially considering that you'll be getting steady cash flow on a month-to-month basis. You can even assume a faster rate of capitalization on properties like this because of the fact that rent prices tend to rise as the result of market pressures.

In a town like this one, about 15 percent of the properties are multi-unit, and these multi-unit properties include townhomes, condos, apartment complexes and buildings, and even duplexes. Properties like condos and townhomes have a tendency to have units that are owner-occupied, but you can even opt to rent these out to short-term lessees.

Commercial Properties – While the residential property types that have been covered here can experience some excellent appreciation, commercial property has a tendency to appreciate the most. These properties, which can include office space, retail space, and even spaces that can be used for things like storage facilities, can make you a lot of money when you opt to rent them out. Additionally, commercial leases have a tendency to be longer, so you'll have a more stable investment experience.

Real Estate Market Overview and Neighborhoods

This town is comprised of three distinct neighborhoods. When you're an investor, it's a good idea to execute some research so that you know which neighborhoods will be best for your residential or commercial investment properties. Doing so will allow you to find optimal properties that take advantage of things like mass transportation options and foot and vehicle traffic. Here is a listing of the neighborhoods:

• The North Section
• Town Center
• Mayflower Grove/Golden Ring Camp

While the town doesn't have much in the way of connections to the major interstates, there are several routes that run throughout the neighborhoods, and since the majority of the residents here commute, residential and commercial investments in this town should consider easy access to routes like 14, 53, and 27. Fortunately, all three of the neighborhoods grant fairly easy access to the Massachusetts route system, so finding optimal investment locations can be found throughout town.
