“Tax shelter� is one of the main reasons folks tell us they invest in commercial real estate. Expenses, loan interest and depreciation offer tax shelter opportunities. But there is another gain potential in investment real estate that is realized before you buy. It’s called “buy it right and don’t fall in love.� Investors make their “profit� before they buy an investment property by not paying too much for it…or buying it at a price that produces a profit at disposition.

Tax shelter is a wonderful thing….but buying a property “right� is another key decision when you invest in real estate. Don’t fall in love!
