Commercial property has different value, the income that a piece of commercial property produces directly related to its usable square footage, this is not always the case with residential.Because commercial property helps diversify risk. Cash flow is often greater with commercial property, the yield is often higher per square foot and in initial investment basis than it is in residential. If you lease or rent a multi-unit commercial property, you have more tenants to generate income.Commercial property leases are generally much longer, this helps with the stability of your cash flow.
