Collect rent when investing in commercial apartments? Don’t fall into three misunderstandings

For investment buyers, commercial apartments are also one of the options under residential purchase restrictions. Commercial apartments with small area and low total price are therefore very popular. However, buying an apartment and becoming a "rent collector" is not a one-and-done thing.

To be honest, apartment leasing prices and surrounding intermediary distribution should be done before buying an apartment. In fact, many people have the following misunderstandings when investing in apartments. If you find one or two "misunderstandings", then maybe you should not enter the market in such a hurry.

The first misunderstanding: Investors only focus on the first-hand price.

Due to the benefits of the free trade zone, the price of an apartment in Nansha was more than 8,000 yuan/m2 eight or nine months ago. When the last batch of products was sold, it actually soared to 18,000 yuan/m2. However, can this paper wealth of more than 10,000 yuan/m2 be cashed out? The reporter thought of the Panyu Wanda Plaza apartment sold around 2011. At that time, it was also sold for more than 14,000 yuan/m2. During the same period, Wanbo auctioned a piece of land with a land price of 14,000 yuan/m2. "Bread sells for flour at the price", becoming an investor's entry into the market. The best reason. However, with the opening of Panyu Wanda Plaza, the surrounding area has also become prosperous. Some investors have purchased apartments in Panyu Wanda Plaza. The second-hand price is about 16,000 to 17,000 yuan/m2. In other words, although the apartment price is the same as the land price, the second-hand price of the project is not the same. It did not rise sharply because of this, and it only recorded an appreciation of 12.5% ??after holding the stock for 4 years. Considering that an apartment project in Nansha will face huge opponents for both renting and selling in the future, the book appreciation of RMB 10,000/m2 for the first batch of owners will most likely not be realized. Recently, the reporter received a call from a commercial apartment in Dongshankou. The decoration fee for the last-minute decoration was only 25,000 yuan/m2. This price is the same as the rough price of apartments in the same area. It can be seen that even in urban areas, the price of commercial apartments in recent years The increase is also limited.

The second misunderstanding: investing rashly without even knowing the rental channels.

A friend bought an apartment in the city through a real estate agency that links first- and second-hand properties. Recently, the apartment was repossessed and he wanted to rent it out, but he couldn't find an agency. The reporter learned that this area is a tourist area and financial district along the river. There are many large and small hotels in the surrounding area. There are already cheaper long-term rental houses, but there is not much commercial apartment rental business, so it has become a blank spot for second-hand housing agencies. At that time, when second-hand housing agencies sold apartments, they were looking at the developer's commission. Of course, there are good things to say. As an investor, you should at least visit the surrounding second-hand housing agencies to understand the rental and sales conditions.

The third misunderstanding: Selling with a lease is not a foolproof solution.

Investors are worried that there will be no way to rent out the property. Therefore, many developers have launched lease-back plans for sale with a lease. However, even if the property is sold with a lease, the property will only be taken over for three or five years, and investors will rent out the property. Difficult problems are simply postponed. A commercial apartment for sale with a lease in Zhujiang New City also had a dispute recently. Purchasing a house with a lease does not necessarily ensure that the rent is collected on time, and apartments with a lease have been rising in price every minute. "The wool still comes from the sheep."
