| Advisory: with all the travel restrictions due to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), lots of investors put investment purchase on hold as they are unable to visit the properties. Transmercial believes this is an excellent opportunity for you as there is little competition if you are interested in buying a property. You understand this advantage a lot more if you have made several offers and lost to other investors. Of course, there is a some risk if you cannot visit the property. However, it’s more critical to visit a residential property to get a feel of the floor plan. For commercial properties, you don’t live there so it’s not critical. And so, Transmercial suggests to think outside the box by using:
1. Google streetview and/or
2. Facetime where the listing broker or property manager or someone local to the property can show the property using the camera on the phone.
The property will be inspected by a local inspector so you will know about the property condition. Transmercial will review all the documents: leases, income & expenses, etc. for you and provide you with a summary. And so Transmercial believes you make a calculated risk to purchase a property not being able to physically visit the property.
