How to Choose a Retail Space
Whether you need a retail space because you’re launching a new business, entering the Houston market for the first time or moving out of your existing location, the space you choose can set you up for success – or for failure. Make sure you’ve done your homework and answered the following questions before you sign on the dotted line. How Much Can You Safely Afford to Pay? One of the most disastrous things a business owner can do is create a situation where high overhead costs make it tough to make ends meet. Especially if you’re starting a new business or expanding into a new location, it’s wise to take a conservative approach to budgeting. Before you commit to a retail space, work with your accountant or financial adviser to identify whether it makes better sense for you to purchase or lease a retail space. Then, identify the maximum monthly rent or commercial mortgage payment you can afford to pay. Identify your expected staffing and inventory costs and come up with a maximum monthly rent or mortgage budget that you’re confident you can comfortably meet. How Much Retail Space Do You Need?

5 Things to Consider When Hiring a Commercial Property Manager
Owning commercial real estate can be an incredibly lucrative investment. However, once you lease it out to tenants, you take on enormous responsibilities. You are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of your facility. You must track your financials to ensure your lease rates are in line with what the market commands. You must work with vendors and third-party providers of all kinds. You probably have little to no interest in doing these things yourself. That’s why you need to partner with a reputable, trustworthy commercial real estate property management company in Houston. Here are five questions to consider as you research your options. 1. Does the Property Management Firm Have Experience and a Diverse Portfolio? Every business begins as a startup. However, you probably don’t want your commercial properties being managed by a company that is still learning the ropes. Additionally, the more commercial properties a management firm oversees, the more savings they’ll enjoy from vendors – savings that will be passed on to you. Before committing to a commercial property management firm, ask to meet the manager(s) who would be overseeing your properties. You’ll be able to ask them about their experience and get a personal sense of […]

What Should You Consider When Looking for Commercial Medical Space?
Whether you’re moving your medical practice or starting a new one, you’re going to need enough space to smoothly operate. But what should you look for in a commercial medical space? Here are a few important aspects you should consider. Your Needs One of the first aspects to consider when you’re looking for a medical space are your needs. Assessing your needs allows you to narrow down your commercial real estate options. Referrals can be an important way to generate business and are responsible for 65% of business, according to the New York Times. Thus, considering your lead generation needs are important. For example, a medical office that already has a doctor in the location may serve as a gateway to driving more business if the doctor’s practice complements your medical practice, such as a general dentist and orthodontist. Also, consider what service you provide. For instance, if you are a physical therapist, it may be more advantageous to rent or buy medical facilities that have accommodated PT practices before. By evaluating your needs, you can know where to start. Location and Capacity The location and capacity of a commercial medical space can play a major role in your decision-making […]
