Six Factors To Be Wary Of When You Invest in Commercial Property

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Author: Timothy Frodsham

Before you decide to take out a commercial mortgage to buy a commercial property, there are some things that you will need to consider.

More chance of rental void periods: Commercial properties tend to fall into certain niche markets, sites for retailing, office space and catering attract a certain type of prospective renter, and sometimes this can leave you with fewer potential customers. There can be longer periods without tenants, though to counter this, most landlords insist on longer tenancy agreements and six month notice periods from tenants.

High Mortgage Costs: Commercial mortgages are often on higher interest rates than residential r buy to let mortgages,  and the mortgage fees are generally higher too. You will also be required to put a large deposit down, usually between 25-50%.

How Loans Work

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Author: Sofia Britts - Loaning is a financial process wherein a certain amount of money is borrowed from a financial establishment through various ways. The borrowed money also known as principal would be paid eventually on an agreed date, also known as the maturity date. If not paid until then, a penalty, called accrued interest, would be charged to the borrowers. Of course, financial companies profit from these transactions because of the interest paid by the borrower.
The interest is the amount of extra amount of money you need to pay aside from the amount you borrowed. The interest basically serves as payment for the money lending service offered by the loaning company. Loans are good options when people are suffering from financial crisis.
