Why invest in commercial property?
Unlike residential real estate, Commercial real estate investment is evaluated, bought, and sold based purely on numbers - on a set of factors that describe what kind of return on investment you can expect with the property. Most Commercial real estate investment is expected to make a return for you on an on-going (monthly) basis. With the retail boom and increasing return on investment in the commercial real estate market, the value of commercial real estate have grown by leaps and bounds, particularly, in the commercial areas, where the local retail shops and shopping complexes have been replaced by huge and swanky malls.

Property Investment in UK
The primary aim of real estate investment is for the investor to make profit. The prime scheme for property investment is to reflect on the low procurement and high selling scheme. This strategy will help you to make hard cash for further investment.
One of the best ways to earn quick cash is to buy property at a low price and after sometime resell it at a high price. You may also give your property on rent.
Best way to buy a property for cheap is to buy a distressed property. These properties are the real targets for real estate investing. Distressed properties are commonly available at a very low price because of their look, state, or the monetary situation of the proprietor. Property investors can buy distressed properties for a low price, do some renovation and decorations, and then resell the property at market value for a profit.
There are several methods of profitable property investing to increase earnings from property investment. If you are a potential property investor and want to make profit consult your property agent now.

On the other hand, economist Ed Stansfield predicts a huge 20% fall by the end of 2009. But some others argue that homes are still worth considerable, even more than they were in 2006. According to them, the
Ed Stansfield replies in ‘yes’ when asked if property prices are heading for slump. He adds, “We have long warned that the housing market boom would end with a major correction - which now seems to be unfolding.” But Rosalind Renshaw, a property market expert, answers the same question in a confident ‘no’. He says that the drop is always a good news for the first-time buyers and those wanting to move up the housing ladder. Falling prices are generally associated with negative equity but according to Renshaw, “A one per cent annual fall does not signal a return to the bad old days of the early 1990s.”
