The research and
valuation firm, Situs RERC, conducts surveys of experts each quarter to find
out which types of commercial properties offer the best potential for
investors. The survey has a scale from 1 to 10, 1 representing the poorest
conditions and 10 the best.
Here are the
preliminary results for the second quarter. Final results will come out early
August.
- Apartment building: 5.9
- Hotels: 6.4
- Student housing: 6.5
- Neighborhood shopping centers: 6.6
- Office building in central business districts: 6.6
- Industrial warehouses: 7.6
If you are an
individual investor, you might not be in a position to pluck down the amount of
money required to buy one of the above properties. But there are real estate
investment trusts (REITs) that focus on each of these sectors.
For more information
on REITs, the National Association of Real
Investment Trusts’ website is a good place to start.
