BUYING VS. LEASING

Is this the time to buy a commercial building? 

Still leasing? Consider the benefits and discover if you should buy a commercial property instead!

​TAX SAVINGS

  • ​​Write off all of your mortgage interest.
  • Depreciate the commercial building and equipment.
  • Property income is ordinary vs. earned income.

​INCREASE PERSONAL INCOME

  • ​Reduce your earned income by the amount of your commercial building income. This will lower your personal income tax burden.
  • ​​​Hire family members to (legitimately) manage the property.

​BUILD EQUITY AND WEALTH

  • ​​Increase your equity ownership as a result of principal reduction (paid for by your company's rental payments)
  • ​Depending on your space needs you may be able to lease part of your building to other tenants who will help pay for your commercial building.

​APPRECIATION

  • ​​Potential increase in the value of the property over time due to inflation or property improvements.
  • ​​​Changes in supply and demand in the real estate market may increase the value of the property.

​​CONTROL LEASE EXPENSE

  • ​​With a long-term mortgage and control over commercial building expenses, as the owner you can better control your business's lease expense vs. traditional leasing.

​​ADD VALUE FOR FUTURE SALE

  • ​​​​When you sell the property, you owe less on the loan, so you receive more cash at closing.​
  • ​If you sell your business in the future, you have an additional asset to increase the overall value of the business.

​HISTORICALLY LOW INTEREST RATES

  • ​​Mortgage interest rates are still historically low and consequently the decision to purchase a commercial building should be now.
  • ​​Build equity more quickly than in the past.
