Investors Often Want Managed Commercial Property in San Diego

July 26, 2012

Investors often want managed commercial property in San Diego. This allows them to own property without the headaches involved in self-managing property.

Many times it is possible to find a company that can locate properties for purchase as well as handle management tasks afterwards. 

One of the most popular types of property that people look for is a multifamily housing complex. These can be found in a range of sizes, styles and prices within the area. People can purchase these based on price, return on investment or location. Some will be looking for large complexes that are close to shopping or other amenities. Some investors prefer smaller buildings that are in a mixed-use area along with single-family homes.  

No matter what style or size people select, they will need someone with experience to manage them. 

People will find there are a variety of needs for management when they purchase property. Tenant selection is a key factor in determining how smoothly things run. Tenants have to be screened as to income and creditworthiness, and they need to pass a background check that includes information about previous evictions or criminal offenses. The average person would not necessarily know how to accomplish these tasks but these are things that commercial real estate companies do every day. 

Another problem can be maintenance. Without proper maintenance in place, the property falls into disrepair and tenants move out. Some issues, such as plumbing and heating, can cause the owner to become embroiled in legal disputes should they be ignored. Owners are not always skilled in making repairs and they often do not want the headaches involved in late night repairs. Some owners do not know how to select workmen to perform repairs and may end up paying more than they should. 

Other issues can include collecting rents and keeping records. Anyone who owns property will need to report income to the IRS each year. But the owners will also want documentation that shows what they have spent on repairs, parts or services for maintenance. Keeping records is not everyone’s strong suit. This is another instance when having professional management can be important. 

Properties do not have to be housing types to take advantage of professional management. People who own medical offices, industrial properties, strip malls, and other types of commercial properties can benefit from working with a commercial real estate company. At Pacific Coast Commercial, we can also help with advertising, tenant retention or pursue delinquencies.
