Commercial real estate basics you should know: 
- A commercial lease is different from a residential one. It indicates that the property is not for personal use and serves as a rental contract between a landlord and a business.

- Not all landlord terms are the same. We will carefully read your lease to be sure you’re getting the best terms possible and that there’s no funny business embedded in the “legalese” inside the contract.

- There are five types of commercial leases:

• Percentage Lease
• Gross Lease, or Full Service Lease
• Net Lease
• Double Net Lease
• Triple Net Lease We’re well-versed in all types and will help to discern which is best for you.

- Supply and demand drives commercial real estate prices. This can be helpful to keep in mind when looking to find new properties and when negotiating a lease renewal. We can help you navigate when, where and how to choose the right property for you and your business.

- Three main factors affect the commercial real estate market:

• Job growth
• State of the economy
• E-commerce (Online activity reduces the need for brick-and-mortar properties but increases industrial space needs.) Understanding and utilizing current market conditions is part of the value and expertise we bring to the table.

- Two main factors affect commercial property costs:

• Property size
• Location

We know the Memphis market and stay on top of availabilities to help you find just the right property, in the best location, at the right price.

- You have options:

Buy, lease and sub-lease. Many business owners have never considered owning versus leasing. While it can come with challenges, ownership can also bring many rewards, such as building equity, opportunity for additional income through leasing out extra space and even tax advantages. Our team of specialists can help you weigh the pros and cons and make an educated decision on what’s right for you and your business.

We hope that this information has been helpful and hope you will consider 901 Properties as your commercial real estate partner.
