The term commercial property (also referred to as commercial real estate, investment, or income property), largely refers to any non-residential property used solely for business purposes. Commercial real estate includes stores, office buildings, industrial property, medical centers, hotels, malls, farm land, multifamily housing, rental houses being held for income-producing purposes, and warehouses, to name a few. In many states, residential property comprising more than a certain number of units will be characterized as commercial property for borrowing and tax purposes. Unless the property is a homeowner’s personal residence, the property is likely commercial real estate. In many cases, commercial real estate transactions are not afforded the same consumer protections as might be available on residential transactions.
