Looking With a New Frame of reference Once you know what your risk tolerance is investing in commercial real estate, do not limit yourself to a certain investing mindset that fits properties into your portfolio. You may "know" you want to invest in an building that is an "A" level property with a certain dollar amount. However, you may realize even greater earning potential by looking at other opportunities such as a mobile home park. Choose to focus on the risk level of a property and determine if that will fit your portfolio.


Risk Mitigation-Bringing Balance To Generate Money
By looking at investments through a risk mitigation perspective, you can begin to analyze your investments as big risk/high potential rate of return, big risk/low rate of return, medium risk/medium return, low risk/high rate of return and low risk/low rate of return.

Good inexperienced investors will a combination of both forced appreciation deals that will yield a high rate of return and conservative deals that are low risk. This allows smaller and more steady cash flow from less risky investments to cover gaps from more risky investments. In other words, covering your high risk with conservative, low risk investments.

Making It Work
But, how do you make this work?

Let's look at an example:
However, extending your desired market area by 30 miles opens the opportunity to invest in a low risk/high potential with a substantially lower investment cost and brings tax incentives because it is considered a lesser-desired area. If you first invest in the low risk/high potential, you can build the wealth from the investment to then also invest in the more risky and costly investment while covering any hole that may result from the risky investment.


What if you want to go for broke?
As with any investment strategy, there is no one right answer for every investor. If you want to take the lunge and throw it all into a risky investment, you may have a substantial payout. You may also lose everything. Decide what you can handle investing in commercial real estate and then grow your wealth!
