Every investor has different goals, strategies, risk tolerance, etc and it all will affect how they decide to go about their acquisitions.That being said, when talking commercial real estate you ultimately have one goal: keep your income as high as possible and your expenses as low as possible which then translates into a higher NOI and in consequence a higher value of the property.
