Question by Jennifer: What is best when buying a commercial building?Include real estate taxes?
Now Im buying a commercial building.The deal is owner carries contract, or finance the amount with his/her own interest. Is it best if we include the real estate taxes (which are about less than ,000.00) with the principal payment and interest or just pay the principal payment and interest without real estate taxes?Is it true that adding the real estate taxes can increase the interest on the loan?I would like advice on this.thanks.

Answer by Bill
You want to pay the taxes separately since you will be paying and individual rather than a lending institution. That way you know that they get paid on time.

Question by westphalia1: Buy an income producing business as opposed to buying commercial Real Estate?
If you do not have the funds to buy a commercial property-can a “Business for Sale” property be used instead? For the purpose of using the income revenue itself as part of and in addition to a morgtage on that commercial property? Say-Hotels, or resorts or others. Can the income from that operating business be considered as part of the long term morgage and any personal investors you can come up with? PLEASE KEEP THIS ANSWER IN CONTEXT.NO EXPERIENCE? Dont Reply
Best answer:
Answer by Real Estate pro
The question the way it is written is a little confusing but I think what your asking is; is the income from a business that is part of a commercial property, like a Hotel, be taken into consideration by the bank in your ability to repay a mortgage on the commercial Real Estate it’s self.
The short answer is yes. But banks are notoriously skittish on these kinds of deals so will probably not give you a great LTV on such a loan, they want you to have some vested interest like your own cash involved with the deal.
So even if the business will easily net enough to make payments on a 100% LTV mortgage, the bank will still want you to come with a down like 20%-30% for the Real Estate.

Successful Financial Strategies for Buying Commercial Real Estate
If you’ve grown weary of paying rent for your current business space, or have considered purchasing commercial real estate as a long-term equity investment, there are several important factors that can maximize your financial opportunities and minimize your risks.
First of all, do your homework and educate yourself on the various costs involved. Unlike residential real estate, commercial property has extra fees and costs, which are not immediately apparent. So make sure you have the complete picture before you buy. Potential property expenses include (but are not limited to):
• Property taxes – Underwriters use the real tax numbers instead of an estimate used for residential properties.
• Insurance – The requirements the underwriter will have are often different (and more) than what the owner is currently and usually carrying. The buyers will have to comply with the underwriter’s insurance

How to Buy Commercial Real Estate
The first question to ask is ‘what for’? Are you buying commercial real estate to use in your business? Will you be an owner/occupier? Or are you buying as an investor?
While your answer will separate the buyers into different camps, the advice to both is pretty much the same. Proceed with caution. Be as sure as you can be about the chances of the occupiers doing well. Rely on expert opinion.
Owner occupier
Again we can differentiate between a newbie and an experienced operator. If you are seeking to buy commercial real estate to house your brand new business, you need to be sure you don’t buy too big, expand too quickly and pay too much. Mind you that applies to almost everyone in business.
But if you already have a business and wish to relocate or even expand, again be aware of the economic times and don’t over-extend yourself and your
