Commercial Real estate Property Types

Various groups of structure types fall in the category of commercial real estate property such as:

-          Multi-Family Commercial Real Estate
Multi-family commercial real estate property types include duplex homes and buildings for occupation by multiple family groups. Either separate housing units are contained within one building or several buildings are contained within one complex. An example is an apartment building.

-          Retail Space Real Estate Properties
Any building used as a store for products is a retail space estate property. It can be used to store consumer products such as clothing, electronics and furniture etc. Malls and strip centers are also retail properties. The valuation of such commercial real estate property is based on size, land, value, retail sales per square foot and other things.


Buildings either designed individually or in groups for office use fall into this category. When offices are assembled in formations with single ownership, they are registered as commercial office rental property. For example medical and dental offices. The owner obtains revenue from the rental payments of the office tenants. There valuation is based on the rental income return on investment.

Boosting Real Estate in Dubai

Dubai’s new international airport Al Maktoum will open to passenger traffic on Oct. 27. This airport is claimed to become one of the world’s busiest airports. Its first phase can handle almost 7 million passengers but eventually the capacity will increase up to 160 million passengers and 12 tons of cargo a year when the airport is fully complete and running.

The first carriers to use the airport reportedly will be the Saudi-based carrier Nasair and the Hungarian budget airline Wizzair.

The new airport is supposed to give a significant boost to Dubai real estate market over the next 10 years.  More traffic means more vacationers, tourists, home buyers and more investors. Hence the new airport will contribute to the housing market in every way. The airport will also create several hundred thousand jobs which will further increase the demand for housing supply.


Al Maktoum will eventually develop into cargo and passenger airport.

Dubai has doubled property registration fees in a bid to reduce speculation as fears of a real estate bubble emerge.

After suffering from worst property crashes in 2008, Dubai has taken measures to avoid it again in the near future. The Dubai Land Department has doubled property-sale fees to 4 percent from 2 percent, effective from Oct. 6. The change will apply to residential and commercial properties but it won’t affect industrial real estate. The decision is intended to limit speculation which is harmful to the market and help it to gain stability and sustainability. The increase “may negatively impact property sentiment and demand for the next three to six months,” said Digvijay Singh, an analyst at VTB Capital Plc. However, “it’s the prudent thing to do because the more stable Dubai’s fiscal situation is, the better the long-term prospects for property values.”

The additional fee property is a step taken by the government to guard Dubai’s economy. The higher fee will generate revenue for the government, which does not impose income tax. The revenue will be used by the government to pay loan and bond maturities as part of its estimated $120bn debt mountain. Purchases of the homes will still be inexpensive by global standards and investors in Dubai will also have to pay alow property tax.

Learning Real Estate Investing before Beginning

Investing in real estate is a profitable career because people need a place to live and population continues to grow on daily basis. As long as an investor reviews the trends and interprets bargains and demands the right way, he can grow rich with real estate investing. An investor must know the precise methods and how to use them profitably. For Example home owners built homes that they are unable to sell and when they finally do, the home isn't worth it was build or become the victim of foreclosure. But smart real estate investors can readily profit from such outcomes and save the home owner from foreclosure by using long-term lease option. A long-term option provides the home owner with the mortgage payment every month, as the investor sublets the home and uses the income to pay the lease. Since the option is long term (to allow the markets to readjust and home values to increase), by the time the option expires the investor resells the home at a nice profit - often selling to the tenant. It's a win-win situation. The home seller saves his credit and the investor makes a nice profit. Every real estate investors should learn tactics and coaching by a professional and then go to the field.
