You can sell your property that you own or provide on lease. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. For short term selling may be better but for a long time focus may ask you to hold the property.
You can own a property by various means. You can buy it, you can inherit it, and you can get it as a gift. Owning a property is a big deal as it gets you good amount of equity. You can own a property fro many reasons like investing in a property, for your living purpose, for renting or for other purposes.
Owning a property is always good because of the return that comes in. When you own a property you can do two things, you can sell it off, or you can lease it to others.
Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.
From a lease in property, you will get a stream of income continuously; you will get the appreciated value of the property, and also the tax benefit for the commercial property. When the market is not growing or the prices are less, you can hold your property for future good market. Leasing for at least one year has another benefit for the new owner. The profits from sale will have a tax at the rate of capital gains which is lesser than general tax.
You will have to manage the lease in property if you offer it in lease. You do not get the profit right away. You will have to wait.
If you want to profit as soon as possible, then sell your owned property.
While selling, you can offer various selling options to the prospective buyers. You can simply sell it, you can offer lease with an option to buy or lease with an option to purchase.
In case of lease with an option to buy, you will have a buyer who will lease in for the time being but will buy your property later. You get a pre fixed buyer at a pre fixed date. Again there is an obligation on the part of the buyer, to buy it at the date specified. This also broadens your prospective buyer list.
You can also offer the property with a lease with an option to purchase. In this case the buyer does not have obligation but he has an option that he may buy it at a later time. You get a willing buyer who may buy your property at a later date.
In both the case, whether you are selling or leasing the property, you need some good advice. Your real estate attorney may be very helpful to you with the legal and other issues related to building and selling or leasing the property.
