Sooner or later, most of us get around to thinking about our "retirement," in one form or another. Commercial real estate may offer some excellent opportunities for those of us who want to scale back our work demands but want to remain self sufficient and active.
You may have been a conscientious planner with some good preparation for your less active retirement years. Now, you may be seeking a limited enterprise of some sort to own and operate as part of that plan. It could be time to look at the various options right here in our beautiful County of Lake!
It is important to note that while our county is in a soft growth mode at this time with a lot of commercial ventures available, they won't last forever! (My casual projection is that in six to ten years the landscape will be considerably transformed, both economically and in terms of affordable commercial real estate investment availability.) As any region expands, renews, refurbishes and offers its investment options, that door swings closed as the region approaches efficient infill!
When thinking "retirement," everyone defines it in terms of their specific ideas of where, what and when – combined with their personal choices concerning how active they plan to be. Satisfying all those elements does not have to be daunting; in fact, it can be fun, creative and surprising! Taking a look at the benefits and attributes of a given area can be more thoroughly explored with the help of regional experts. Those experts have the experience and knowledge you need concerning relevant Commercial real estate investments, the economic rhythms and health of the region, and what listings might fit your search.
Investigating local city and county Planning departments can be time well spent. Along with current Commercial real estate insights furnished by a licensed Commercial realtor, information about the city and county long-range planning is vital.
Our County of Lake offers some enviable attributes to retirees! We have incredibly clean air and we are close to beautiful wilderness. Congestion is low, and "big box" shopping is close enough! Our collection of small towns offers the opportunity to participate in their growth patterns and help maintain that quality of life that retirees seek.
You don't have to look very far to see examples of the evolution and planned development of formerly ageing, blighted and/or economically struggling communities. Sausalito and Mill Valley in Marin County – once sleepy and struggling economically – have become attractive "destinations." Cloverdale in Sonoma County was virtually abandoned when U.S. 101 bypassed the town with new freeway. It took several years for the town to recover and basically re-invent itself with an attractive and economically healthy infrastructure. The property values raised and small businesses began to thrive again.
