Currently, there are many options for buying commercial space, and it's safe to say that it is easily one of the most sought after real estate product. There are mainly two reasons for this. First, there are many new ventures coming up every now and then, which obviously require office space at some point of time. Second, property developers or people who see real estate purely from an investment perspective realize the above mentioned fact, and are hoping to take advantage of the same.
Essentially, one can either buy San Diego office space or rent it. And this is where the confusion starts. But luckily for you, I have listed all the pros and cons of either of the decisions. To start with, buying an office space of course gives you a feeling of ownership, to start off with, but also requires a heavy initial investment. Now, this could be OK for someone who has a huge initial capital for investment, but might not be the case with everybody, since start up ventures in particular does not have the kind of money. The last advantage of buying an office space, if you can afford it, is that there are very high chances of getting a handsome return due to appreciation of property.
Now let's talk about renting San Diego office space. First of all, it does not require a heavy investment, since you only have to pay rent for a year at the most, which might not even be 10% of the actual cost of the property, and maybe less, in certain cases. Second, you can always choose to shift your office to a more preferred location. The reasons can be many
1) You can't afford the current place.
2) The next location gives you better business prospects
3) You need a larger place, and so on.
So, in order to ensure that your investment is utilized in the best possible manner, make sure that you take all these points into consideration, and then take an informed decision. Remember, it's your money, and there will be many people out there who would try to convince you to spend it in their favor, but it is completely up to you regarding how well can you emerge from this situation and take control of the same for your own benefit.
