If you are new to commercial real estate or new to the commercial real estate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area then you should likely know about a few key factors when it comes to investing in DFW. Dallas-Fort Worth is similar to many metropolitan markets but there are a lot of distinct differences and advantages that also await you. Let’s take a closer look at what you need to know before this very specific market.

1. Market Research is Vital

Market research is one of the most important factors when it comes to making that big commercial investment. Investors must pay close attention to economic indicators which include job growth, population trends and nearby major industries. Investors must also know how much is enough and how much might be too much. 

Dallas neighbor Shreveport, Louisiana recently acquired a new investor by way of well-known rapper 50 Cent. His team was able to determine the true value of a number of commercial properties that were struggling or looking for new ownership in the downtown area. The economic indicators suggested that it was a very good time to buy in. 

Dallas-Fort Worth presents a number of lucrative possibilities when it comes to commercial real estate. How lucrative? Let the market research lead you. Maybe start right here.

2. Do Your Due Diligence

Don’t just take that price at face value. Do you have an eye on a property in the DFW area? Then be sure to treat it like the investment you want and need it to be. 

This means that thorough inspections should be considered. Know any and all potential issues with the property in question before the contracts are signed. Also, keep in mind how the property is zoned. What kind of building is it and what kind of tenants will it attract?

It is also advised that you make use of a top-rated lease management software program to perform a detailed analysis of any projected cash flows, cap rates and ROI (return on investments) after the building is acquired. 

3. Are you Looking for a Specific Type of Commercial Property?

Commercial real estate covers a lot of ground so what is it that you’re looking for? Office space? Retail malls? Maybe your eye is on something more industrial or, perhaps, multi-family residential units have your attention? Either way, it’s no secret that these sectors are absolutely thriving in the DFW area.

4. Make Good Use of the Technology at Hand

This brings us to the next consideration. These days, property management is made easy because of new technology and innovative approaches to lease management and lease management software. Also, more and more smart buildings are coming online and tenants are lining up for these advanced commercial spaces. 

So, is the property in question able to take full advantage of smart tech or energy-saving applications? Could this property benefit from a “green” approach with the addition of air-tight windows, smart bulbs and alternative energy sources or backup generators?

When an investor takes hold of an older property or something a bit more antiquated, it can be a beautiful and even profitable thing to bring that building into the 21st century with modern upgrades and appliances. These types of commercial investments often fall under the category of “revitalization” and can even come with local, state or federal tax incentives. 

On Your Mark, Get Set, Buy!

If you’re ready to dive into the Dallas-Fort Worth commercial real estate market, there’s plenty of opportunity waiting for you. The area is alive with potential and investors are taking real notice. It’s just a matter of knowing what you want, applying a bit of research and finding that beautiful needle in our commercial real estate haystack.
