Smart investors are turning to commercial **multi tenant real estate** to access higher returns and invest their money in a traditionally inflation-proof asset. However, with so many real estate companies to choose from and a full range of investment options with varying [degrees of risk](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/industry-articles/when-investments-dont-work-out-as-planned), it can take time to know where to put your money in these uncertain times. 

Knowing who to trust and having a successful investment plan is the best way to mitigate losses and maximize returns in a real estate deal. 

This blog examines how you can analyze CRE (commercial real estate) investment opportunities to make the right choice for your portfolio and how a leading CRE multi tenant investment company creates real value for investors.

## What is Multi-Tenant Real Estate?

**Multi tenant property** is an asset with multiple commercial units (as opposed to single-tenant properties with only one tenant), each with a lease agreement to the lessor. 

An example of a [multi-tenant real estate asset](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/why-you-should-invest-in-multi-tenant-real-estate) could be a strip mall with individual lessees, such as a medical office, restaurant, and beauty salon. Multi tenant is not "multi family" as the lessees are not residential family renters. Instead, tenants in these buildings are businesses running a commercial or retail enterprise. 

Diversified multi-tenant real estate assets can be [robust investment vehicles](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/industry-articles/why-multi-tenant-properties-offer-better-risk-reward-ratios-than-single-tenant-properties) with reliable tenants, a lower vacancy risk, and several income streams. In addition, a wide range of sectors can be covered within the asset, delivering resistance to economic trends and downward turns. 

Some examples of multi-tenant properties include:

- Central offices
- Shopping malls
- Strip malls
- Large healthcare centers

Getting in on the right deal can be an excellent investment decision but remember, all investment carries some risk. 

## Choosing the Right Investment Company

How can investors choose the best opportunity? Use the following steps as a guideline to research potential multi-tenant investment options. 

### Research The Company

The first and most obvious step to adding the right properties to your [investment portfolio](https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/portfolio-investment/) is to research options and the individuals behind them. 

Real estate deals depend not only on the property but also on the management team and administrators. For example, a stunning strip mall in a select location can still underperform if the team behind doesn't manage the property or tenants well. 

Use the following strategies as a foundation for your research in an investment company. 

- *Evidence of competency:* What is the online presence of the investment company? Do they have thought leadership materials, blogs, and YouTube videos? Do they understand the ins and outs of CRE investment? A quality investment company will be wholly transparent with every step of its process, from its investment approach to its portfolio.
- *Investor engagement: *Is the team willing to engage with potential investors? How often do they communicate with investors, and are there multiple methods of contact?  
- *Investor support:* Do they offer support to investors? Are there portals for communication, educational materials, and more?

A leading investment company should inform and educate active and potential investors. The right commercial multi-tenant investing company also provides support and an environment for businesses to thrive in their managed properties.  

### Record and Experience

Look for a team with demonstrable results, a proven strategy, and a track record of success in real estate investment.

At **Kenwood Management**, we've been in business since 1997, faced various economic environments, and have always been driven by our underlying motivations of honesty and loyalty to investors and lessees. As a result, each asset acquired under the portfolio has exceeded return projections. 

Ensure you research the management structure, background of directors, compensation structure, and [investment style](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/investing_style.asp) of the company. For example, are they value-oriented or higher risk? Either can deliver successful investing opportunities, but be sure it's the right style for your goals. 

### Contact Previous or Current Investors

Are there opportunities to contact past or current investors in a deal? Find reviews or reach out to the team to discover if there are opportunities to speak with current or past investors about their investment experience with the company. 

#### Does the Company Back Their Investments?

Managers that invest in their properties are a sign of a quality investment group. In addition, it highlights an added layer of motivation and personal commitment to manage the deal to the highest possible standard. 

### The Kenwood Management Approach

Our investment strategy focuses on self-managed properties in which our principals also invest. 

Additionally, our investment approach focuses on the fundamental pillars of value, integrity, respect, and fairness, which creates a unique and elevated experience for both investors in the deal and the lessees of the properties within our portfolio. 

As a [value-oriented investment group](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/how-value-investing-works/), we offer regular dividends at a 7-8% annualized return. We recoup the individual investment amount only after our investors have been paid. Our investment opportunities are open to all investors with a $25k minimum buy-in, and accreditation is unnecessary. 

We create intelligent long-term investment opportunities and have been doing so since 1997.
