I have been expanding our business over the past few years and it occurred to me that with the amount I've spent on rent I could have owned my business premises now. That's why I bought the property that our business is currently on, as well as the surrounding land. This way there will be no obstacles to us expanding the business when the time is right. I have also started looking at buying more commercial property as it can be a great investment. This blog has some tips on starting to buy commercial property and should be useful for anyone just starting out as a real estate investor.
