If the terms “commercial real estate” is alien to you, then this article will serve as a good jump-off point, should you consider dabbling into the colorful world of Miami commercial real estate. Truth be told, commercial real estate is both a simple and complicated concept.
Simple, in the sense that you can easily understand all the basic ideas and process, and complicated, in a way that will probably cause a lot of confusion once the discussion goes deeper. Since you’re a beginner to commercial real estate, then let’s stick with the easy part, first.
Understanding Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate in Miami is basically the same as in any other U.S. territory, although business in Miami might be more active than, say, Iowa, for instance, because Miami is one of the most popular tourist and party hubs of the country. But before we get into that, let us identify what commercial real estate means.
Commercial real estate pertains to any kind of property that is either bought or sold based on the commercial value it brings. For example, a building is considered commercial property. An apartment unit is so, too. So is a school, a hospital, a retail outlet, a resort, a hotel, a parking lot, and even a single-family home, as long as its being used for rentals. Any kind of property that makes money off itself is categorized as commercial real estate. The home you occupy is not included in this list.
Property prices in Miami may be a bit higher than the its quieter counterparts, because Miami is constantly bustling with activity. Celebrities and tycoons buy houses here, business want to set up shop here, and tourists are always looking for new things to explore here. If you’re looking into cashing in on the Miami commercial real estate market, then you’re definitely going to get some windfall after a short while. That is, of course, if you know to work it.
Pricing Miami Commercial Real Estate Properties
How do you determine the value of a Miami commercial real estate property? Three ways: based on the cost of building a similar property, the prevailing market value of such property type, and the property’s net operating income. Net operating income means total income generated when the property is fully utilized minus maintenance and operating costs, taxes, uncollected rents, and other losses.
Once you have these prices with you, since you’re dealing with a Miami real estate property, it would be all right to tack on an additional 5% to 10% to the rate. When selling real estate, it’s always best to give your potential buyer the highest, yet fairest, possible price you can give for the property and then negotiate from there. If you start with your lowest possible price, then it’s likely that the other party will want to go much much lower. You end up with nothing, and even with a deficit, if this happens.
As a beginner to the Miami commercial real estate market, it is prudent to read up on the current market trends and how-tos of real estate investment first before making your initial move. You can simply argue that gut feel would work, but when you’re dealing with this much money (as you’re in Miami, where properties could reach millions of dollars) it’s best to be on the safe side. After all, you wouldn’t want your first try to blow up in your face, right?

Help answer the question about property estate
Tax liability for settlement from stolen real estate property?I have a plot of vacant land that was falsely sold as a result of identity theft. The title company is going to offer a cash settlement. At what rate will the cash I receive be taxed? Does it count as earned income? I had no intention of selling the property, in the first place, now I'm afraid of being taxed on the settlement. The property I owned was a gift from my parents for which I paid nothing.
Thanks.
Make sure you know what you are buying but you can't protect yourself entirely. Civil unrest or political changes can take your property without paying you anything if they decide to nationalize.
you both are responsible and whether the property is real estate or not if you own it or your spouse in some states a lien can be placed against it
County assessments are as of a specific date. Usually January 1st of each year. Your January 1, 2008 assessment does not reflect the downturn in the market. Check with you tax assessor's office and discuss your assessment. There should be an adjustment based on the January 1, 2009 market.

nice watch!!!
What happened to these? I kind of liked them
I vote Leia over Spongebob
hahaha! It’s ready,. I’m jsut having trouble rendering it. Spent all night last night trying to get it to render. Hang in there!
The cash flow would come from rentals, leases, or the use of the property for the owner's business or use. NPV will measure the rate of return for the investment while taking inflation into account. IRR will likewise attempt to determine the potential future earnings of the project. Since both of these involve seeing into the future, pessimistic outlooks may wind up doing better than optimistic ones. The key to making these decisions is having a firm grasp of what the current rental rates are, what expenses the owner would be responsible for, and realistic vacancy rates for the neighborhood/use/type of tenant. hope this helps,good luck!
It’s monday – why no new episode?
yeah you speak german
Hmm I think this is very ambitious – before I saw you I’m not sure I knew how Florida real estate relates to my life – now I know that it is a vital just to see you!
As for my favourite character … I like Spongebob but you would make a hot Leia
You don't say whether or not your father left a will or what it said if he did.
In CA, if he died without a will and was married at the time, his wife is probably entitled to at least one-third of his separate property and all of his community property. So, as a legal co-owner of the property, she probably would not be liable to pay rent to the estate.
You should hire a qualified probate attorney to help you with this. Attorney fees are set by statute and come from the estate assets.
The type property you are describing is called commercial property or commercial residential property. Most lenders would want to know if you have any experience of owning rental properties
Are you sure you want to step out that far at this stage of the game? The type property you are describing requires a lot of down payment and then qualifying for a Commercial mortgage. The interest rate would be high and the mortgage note would not be for more than 10-15 years and could be called in 5 years though it could be amortized for 30 years.
There is another possible way you can do it. It might take a little time, but then you will gain valuable experience and the qualification and down payment would be a lot different.
I suggest you try getting into a 4 unit complex. This type of property is considered as a single family home for the purpose of a real estate mortgage.
Therefore the interest rate would be less, you would have to come up with less of a down payment. With you staying in one of the units you still have 3 renters that will assist with the rent. With this type mortgage your mortgage note would be for 30 years,normally at a fixed rate and would be called in 30 years. For the purpose of mortgage finance this is considered an owner occupied property.
If you apply for and qualify for a FHA mortgage then for the 4 units you could have only a 3% down payment.
Once you do this about 3-4 times you should have enough experience and units to qualify for a larger unit that you might find in your local area.
Find a mortgage broker or banker in your local area that can pre-approve you for a mortgage. In order to do this he will have to run a credit check, collect your income proof, and other items necessary to get this pre-approval completed.
Once you are pre-approved you might then contact real estate agent through someone that was referred to you or a referral from the mortgage broker. You will then find a 4 unit complex to purchase.
Once you have located your 4 unit complex there are a few things still needed to be done by your mortgage broker. An appraisal will be obtained as well as a purchase contract.
You should consider joining the Apartment House Association in your local area. This association will assist with the local customs and laws governing renting in your area. They will also be able to assist you with the various forms you will need to be successful in being a landlord. I am speaking of being able to run credit reports on prospective renters, evictions and the forms necessary for this activity.
Joining this association might be tax deductible on your federal income tax. There might be points and fees that are tax deductible in obtaining your mortgage. Please check with your tax consultant about matters concerning taxes.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Cost of a title insurance policy is based on the price/cost of the home. You will need to call some title companies in your area to get an accurate estimate.
It is unwise & risky to purchase a property without one. There could be unrecorded issues that may arise like an encroachment or adverse possession and you will have no insurance against them.
Try calling the town hall and asking.
That depends on whether you want to be a landlord or not. Rental properties are great if you hold them, and can afford the maintenance on them, AND can cashflow. Be prepared to replace the carpet with just about every tenant though, and to get calls about every little thing that goes wrong with the place. Here in Charlotte there are some great properties that bring in massive amounts of rent. It's all in where you invest.
i just bought my home in southern cali and i took advantage of the $8000 when i did my tax , my house was recently built in 2006 and i was able to get it for 190,000 my neighbors got theirs for $400,000 only bad thing is that previous owners took all the appliance but that didn’t matter because the house had lots of upgrades and its in perfect condition the wood floors were kept up really good and the house was very clean.
