S ustained by improving job growth and strong demand for multifamily housing, commercial real estate has been steadily recovering in
recent years on a national level. Looking ahead for 2017, growth is expected to flow into the smaller markets, according to a commercial real estate forecast session recently at the 2016 REAL-TORS Conference & Expo.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, and K.C. Conway, senior vice president of credit risk management at SunTrust Bank, expressed confi-dence that commercial real estate activity should remain on an upward trajectory, but with more uncertainty given the likelihood of a rising inter-est rate environment in 2017.
Yun explained during his remarks that the commercial real estate sector is on firm ground in spite of the numerous global and domestic headwinds that continue to keep U.S. economic growth in a headlock. He predicts that given the slow growth economic environment, instability overseas and the probability of a rate hike by Federal Reserve at the end of the year, investors are expected to take a cautious approach in the months ahead. He also indicated this would likely lead to a modest decline in commercial property prices, especially in Class A assets in larger mar-kets.
“Prices in smaller markets should contin-ue to climb with strong tenant demand and declining supply supporting growth,” said Yun. “As job creation continues, commercial real estate and vacancy rates will be stable across the country.”
Conway’s remarks centered on the key com-
mercial real estate sectors, investments and capital market trends. He anticipates that the conditions supporting expansion in commercial real estate will remain strong as long as the Federal Reserve remains dovish on interest rates.
“Housing and consumer spending are the two components buoying the economy,” Conway said. “If the Fed increases short-term interest rates, both of these components will be affected, which could potentially lead to a recession.
“To capture the current state of local eco-
nomic conditions from Realtors, NAR Research recently introduced its Business Creation Index (BCI). The new quarterly report offers insight from commercial Realtor practitioners on whether businesses are opening or closing by industry, pop-ulation density and sub-region. Indicating slowing business openings, 44 percent of respondents said they had seen an increase in business openings in October, which was down from 49 percent in September.
“While the global economy remains in trouble
with high debt ratios, the general state of com-mercial real estate in the U.S. remains strong due to high multifamily starts and renters occupying quickly,” concluded Conway.

Y ou should compare the benefits of leasing versus buying your property from a cash standpoint, as well as the more obvious needs
standpoint, such as long term space requirements and expansion possibilities. While there are bene-fits to both options, for startups there appear to be more benefits to leasing than buying. Cash flow is, of course, an issue and buying takes a larger por-tion of your hard earned cash up front.
Here are some other monetary benefits of leasing: • Your credit rating will not be quite as critical
for leasing as it would be for buying. So again, for startups, this might be a sticking point.
• Your monthly lease payment is tax deduct-ible because it’s a business expense.
• You may be free from paying for building maintenance.
Here are some non-monetary benefits of leasing: • Freedom to sublet and move to another
location if you find the need to. • No hassle of selling before you can move to
another location. • No loss from owning a building in a bad real
estate market. • No assignment of personnel to oversee prop-
erty issues that the owner should oversee. Buying also has its benefits. It all depends on
your situation and the type of business you’re in. Here are some of the monetary benefits of buying:
• Interest on the mortgage loan is tax deductible. • You can take annual depreciation deduc-
tions on your taxes. • In the long run, you’ll probably come out
ahead because you won’t be facing increases in rent. • You’ll benefit financially if the real estate
market is good when you sell. • You may be able to lease out a portion of the
building if you determine that you have excess space.
If you need to make substantial changes to the building to accommodate your business, those changes are owned by you and not your landlord.
Non-monetary benefits of buying include: • You can make any changes you want to the
property. • The hours of your business can be whatever
you want them to be. • You are free to stay in the same location as
long as you wish.
CASH FLOW ANALYSISIf you can’t make a decision based on these
pluses and minuses, you can (and probably should) do a cash flow analysis to see which option makes more sense from a cash standpoint. Before you can do this, however, you have to have all of the necessary information for making your comparison. This includes information like the full cost of purchasing, the terms of the lease, the depreciated value of the property at the time you would want to move, an estimate of the property’s value at that time, estimates of maintenance costs, and your tax rates.
To do the cash flow analysis, complete cash flow
budgets that include all of the expenses you would incur for either buying or leasing over a set period of time. For the lease analysis, you’ll need to determine your net cash outlay, which is the amount you end up spending on the lease once you’ve subtracted the tax savings you receive from it. (Remember your lease payment is considered a business expense.)
In order to compare apples to apples from a cash flow standpoint, you also have to take into consideration the change in the value of today’s dollar versus a dollar five years from now. This are known as the discount factor and can be calculat-ed using most spreadsheet applications.
You’ll also have to know the amount of your interest deduction that you will get on your business’s taxes. You can arrive at this number by multiplying the interest rate of the loan by each month’s preceding balance.
Now for the tricky part... remember above where I mentioned estimating the value of the property when you would be selling it? This is the number that will ultimately determine who wins in the battle of the benefits of buying versus leas-
ing. Obviously the longer you stay in the building, the better off you will be because you will be gain-ing more and more equity. However, do you know how long you will actually be there? Do you know what the real estate market is going to do in that time period? Not unless you have a crystal ball.
So, study the current market, as well as trends and predictions for as far into the future as you can get. Keep in mind that the farther out the prediction, the less reliable it will be. Arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can, and then make your best estimate. You know your business and you should have a good idea of where it is headed. If you know you want to be in an area for the foreseen future (say 10 or more years), the market is strong, and you’ve identified a building that will suit your needs for that timeframe, then go for it. Ten years of equity can be substantial. If you can get a good deal on the property (at or below market value) then it certainly makes sense to buy if you’ll be there for ten years. If you know the building is priced at or above the fair market value, or if you think five years may be more the length of time you’ll be there then think about offering to lease.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR BUSINESS LOCATION
Choosing a business location is perhaps the most important decision a small business owner or startup will make, so it requires precise planning and research. It involves looking at demographics, assessing your supply chain, scoping the competition, staying on budget, understanding local laws and taxes, and much more.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right business location.
Determine Your NeedsMost businesses choose a location that provides exposure
to customers. Additionally, there are less obvious factors and needs to consider, for example:
Brand Image – Is the location consistent with the image you want to maintain?
Competition – Are the businesses around you comple-mentary or competing?
Local Labor Market – Does the area have potential employees? What will their commute be like?
Plan for Future Growth – If you anticipate further growth, look for a building that has extra space should you need it.
Proximity to Suppliers – They need to be able to find you easily as well.
Safety – Consider the crime rate. Will employees feel safe alone in the building or walking to their vehicles?
Zoning Regulations– These determine whether you can conduct your type of business in certain properties or locations. You can find out how property is zoned by contacting your local planning agency.
Evaluate Your FinancesBesides determining what you can afford, you will need to
be aware of other financial considerations:Hidden Costs – Very few spaces are business ready.
Include costs like renovation, decorating, IT system upgrades, and so on.
Government Economic Incentives – Your business location can determine whether you qualify for government eco-nomic business programs, such as state-specific small business loans and other financial incentives.
Is the Area Business Friendly?Understanding laws and regulations imposed on busi-
nesses in a particular location is essential. As you look to grow your business, it can be advantageous to work with a small business specialist or counselor. Check what programs and support your state government and local community offer to small businesses. Many states offer online tools to help small business owners start up and succeed. Local community resources such as SBA Offices, Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers, and other government-funded programs specifically support small businesses.
The Bottom LineDo your research. Talk to other business owners and
potential co-tenants. Consult the small business community and utilize available resources, such as free government-provided demographic data, to help in your efforts.

G rowing a company can be exciting, but it can also be pretty trying. Even handling the infrastructure can bring headaches. If you
find yourself saying “We’ll just squeeze Bob in here,” when your new hires are about to start, perhaps it’s time to consider a move to roomier headquarters.
A commercial real estate broker will help you find office space, but before you even start talking to one, you should calculate roughly how much space you’ll need. Private offices range between 120-200 square feet each, workstations 36-80 square feet, and conference rooms 200-375 (up to 10-12 people) square feet. You’ll likely also want to consider other ancillary spaces like storage areas, closets, a faxing/mailing room, or a kitchen.
Then, spend some time thinking about where you’d like to move, as well as what that space should look like. Is it important that you be near public transportation or your customers? Or per-haps an alarm system is a must-have. Knowing what you’re looking for beforehand can help you get a sense for costs, so that you can adjust your budget or your criteria as necessary.
Real estate costs — measured in dollars per square foot, vary greatly. The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) classifies buildings according to their location, appearance,
and cost. Class A space, for example, is typically a modern, attractive, secure building in desirable location. But Class A space in a metropolitan area is far more expensive than Class A space in a less-populated region.
Once you know what kind of space you want and how much you can pay, it’s time to find a bro-ker. Brokers are plentiful, and each tends to spe-cialize in a particular type of space (manufacturing vs. office, for example) and geographical area. Par-ticularly in a hot market, it’s advantageous to find a broker who is intimately familiar with the area you are eyeing, because they often get the inside
scoop on space that’s about to become available; you can at least have a chance of getting to it before it’s widely marketed. Brokers also can pro-vide insight on the quality of different landlords.
However, there are brokers who work for the
building owner, not you. Some brokers work on commission, which is paid by the landlord and usually ranges between 3-7 percent of the cost of the lease. This practice can lead to situations where your broker is not working in your best interest.
With that in mind, make sure you get a disclo-sure statement upfront, which details whether the
broker is representing the landlord or the tenant or both. The Commercial Investment Real Estate Institute (CIREI) mandates that all members adhere to their Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. It’s best to look for brokers who are affiliated with the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) and are Certified Commercial Investment Members (CCIM). These designa-tions will ensure that you’re dealing with an edu-cated and recognized professional.
Once you have found your broker and a site you like, you are ready to start the hard part --negotiating. But tips on getting the best deal will have to wait for a future column.
QUICK TIPS• Think long-term. Consider your long-term
growth plans when deciding on a new space. You don’t want to find yourself needing to move when you’ve got a year or so left in your lease.
• Interview brokers. Some things to consider: SIOR and CCIM designation and whether the broker is representing the tenant or landlord.
• Consider a sub-lease. If your company is growing quickly, you won’t want to lock into a long lease. The rub is that landlords prefer long lease terms; one way to get around that is to try subletting space from another business.
