Making Your First Investment in Commercial Real Estate

by RM&D
Let a seasoned team of local experts strategically identify and meet your unique investment goals with minimal risks, planned stability and maximized returns.

Nationally, the latest National Real Estate Institute research on high-net-worth investor commercial real estate (CRE) activity published by WealthManagement.com in March 2021 indicates “…nearly 60 percent of survey respondents expect to increase their allocations to commercial real estate over the next 12 months…an uptick compared to 53 percent in the December 2020 survey …and a new high watermark in the five-year history of the survey.”

Recently a high-net-worth investor was advised by his wealth manager to diversify his portfolio by adding CRE investments. The investor had no CRE investment experience and the wealth manager knew that only a trustworthy, expert CRE professional with proven ease in relating well with high-power investors and hands-on business owners would likely relate well with his client. Furthermore, it was important that the chosen CRE expert be willing to invest the time required to responsibly guide the high-net-worth client through the complex process of adding a profitable property investment to his existing portfolio.

Carole Brill, broker and managing director of RM&D, was exactly the right professional for the job. She personally consulted with the referred client to learn his financial goals and objectives while analyzing his current portfolio mix to gain a practical idea of what type of CRE investments would best suit his unique needs.

How RM&D Helped This First-Time CRE Investor Illustrates Why RM&D is Recommended by Its Clients and Affiliated Professionals

RM&D’s Carole Brill, was recommended to the potential investor based upon her successful partnerships with high-net-worth investor groups, developers and successful business owners. Carole is exceptionally skilled at seeking, analyzing and matching the right property with the right investor, owner and/or tenant. For example, RM&D gained notice as Northern Nevada CRE investment specialists for representing the investor group that purchased One East Liberty Street, an 85,000-square-foot Class A office high-rise building in Reno. At the conclusion of the purchase, the investor group buyer awarded RM&D the property management contract for the asset. It was a natural fit and One East Liberty Street has remained under RM&D’s management and 100% occupied ever since—read more here.

The successful purchase of 4854 Sparks Boulevard, Unit 102, was completed in May 2021. Every goal held by the client was met—from adding diversification to his investment portfolio to adding the right property investment with promising rewards of growth ahead.

RM&D: Your Broker-Partner for a Long-Term Rewarding Relationship, Including Property Management of Your New Investment Property

In this case and others, the investor/buyer and Carole built a solid professional relationship and the client immediately retained RM&D as the property manager for the newly purchased asset. This is another advantage we offer clients, particularly first-time investors: we manage the property as if it were our own.

The scope of property management services free the investor of daily management and oversight. RM&D will manage vendor selection and contracts, all accounting procedures, and other managerial tasks such as monitoring property assessments and taxes. RM&D will perform regular property inspections and tenant relations/management.

A first-time investor gains greatly when a trusted CRE property management team takes full charge of operations for a smooth transition. From the start, building processes, contracts, vendor management, income and expense analysis, property valuation, ROI, and so forth are presented to the investor on a monthly basis to keep him apprised of the current status and value of the asset.
