Since the implementation of demonetization, GST and RERA hit India's real estate industry, it may be forgotten that over the long term real estate is generally one of the best asset classes to invest in; however, picking the right location to invest could be the difference between a successful investment or a flop. Being Mumbai's #1 Commercial property site with the most active commercial real estate agency in Mumbai, we are in a good position to offer our humble views on Mumbai commercial real estate; namely: the top 3 locations to invest in where we think valuations combined with growth outlook could lead to impressive returns from 2019 onwards. Currently, our top pick localities for investment in commercial real estate are: BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) – This region is well planned, has incredibly well designed commercial buildings and is also home to international banks and businesses. While the price per square foot is a little on the higher side, we would still recommend BKC as our number 1 pick to invest in.   Andheri East and West – The cost per square feet is not as high as BKC and Andheri has it all whether you are looking for industrial premises, office spaces, restaurant or…

The avalanche of new PropTech solutions hitting the market is without a doubt a great thing for the real estate industry, but it requires a complete overhaul of how real estate owners and managers think about and run their businesses.  In the past, property/asset managers made decisions at the local asset level for most technologies that they purchased to operate their building.  While that led to quick and nimble decision making, it created a mishmash of disparate systems in each building that provided all of the functionality that the building needed, but prevented the portfolio from leveraging all of their assets in a single cohesive way.  If a decision was made to roll something out portfolio-wide, it was nearly impossible because it would require integrating a hodgepodge of platforms that do not speak to each other.  That may have worked in the past, but not any more.  To activate some of the amazing new technologies which are hitting the market - everything from occupancy measurement, to flexible offerings, to energy efficiency and more, portfolio owners need to tie their portfolio together to get the benefits that they can only fully realize if everything is interconnected. It's not as simple as…

With the latest design trends that tend to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, and with our ever-growing need to boost our connection with nature, it's no wonder that both residential and commercial properties are experiencing significant changes. In residential areas, the increased trend of bringing indoor features outdoors has become so popular over the last couple of years that nowadays, you can basically expect to see it in every property. Now, when it comes to commercial properties, the changes are not so drastic in this sense, but the ever-dreaded office cubicles are definitely a thing of past. That being said, it was recently discovered that the new favourite open office floor plan is not working quite right either. So, let's see what the latest trends advise us to do when commercial properties are concerned. Huddle spaces are a huge trend According to some recent studies, people who work in an office setting actually spend only about 50% of their working hours at their desks. The other 50% of the time is divided among breaks and time spent in creative brainstorming, running an idea by people's colleagues, superiors and other employees. That's why commercial designers suggest the implementation…

As a landlord, you've got two options when it comes to how you handle utilities. In most cases, the tenants take up the mantle when they move in, including taking on responsibility for setting up utility accounts in their own names. In other situations, the landlord may cover the cost of utilities as part of the rent. While not as frequently available, this arrangement does have some benefits that you might want to consider.    What are the pros and cons of covering the utilities on your rental property? Pro: You Can Charge More For Rent If you're including the cost of utilities in your calculations, then it's logical to assume that you'll be able to charge more for rent. This, in most cases, will also help to increase your profit margins, so it sounds like a win-win situation, right? Con: Your Rent Prices Will Be Higher Have you looked at rental listing sites lately? Potential tenants have the option to filter search results by the number of rooms, the number of bathrooms, or - perhaps most importantly - rent cost. If you list your property for a higher price, these potential renters might not even see your listing because…

Methane is an organic hydrocarbon which consists of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom. Its chemical formula is CH4. It is the most simple alkane and is also known as marsh gas, natural gas, and hydrogen carbide. According to the VSEPR Theory, methane molecules have a tetrahedral geometry. Some important properties and uses of methane are discussed in this article. The molar mass of methane is 16.043 grams per mole. Under standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), it exists in a gaseous state. In this state, it does not have any distinct odor. At 25oC and 1 atm of pressure, the density of this compound is 0.657 grams per liter. The melting point of methane corresponds to -182.5oC whereas its boiling point corresponds to -161oC. This compound is quite soluble in many organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, toluene, benzene, acetone, and diethyl ether. However, methane is insoluble in water (its solubility in water corresponds to 22.7 milligrams per liter). In its gaseous state, methane is flammable at concentrations ranging from 5.4% to 17% (at the standard pressure of 1 atm). Methane is known to undergo combustion reactions, halogenation reactions, and steam reforming. The oxidative coupling of methane…

Planning and organizing to paint a commercial property is much different than planning to paint a residential property. Not only is the scope of the entire project significantly different, but painting a business space will require some careful planning and meticulous organization if you want to avoid any complications and downtime. Furthermore, if done correctly, a good paint job has the power to leave a positive first impression on your clients and customers, which will further encourage them to keep coming back. Also, you'll create a much more comfortable working environment for your employees, which can only affect their productivity positively. Know what you want to do Before you begin the project, you need to objectively inspect every aspect of the entire endeavour. Think about all the buildings that need to be painted and how much time you can set aside for this project. Furthermore, do know that the entire project will last significantly longer in case you need to paint both the exterior and the interior of your business space. Additionally, think about the coloursyou want to go for both inside and outside. Also, consider when you'll begin the project, because during summer, the paint will dry much quicker…

Although most people don't understand how plumbing works, they might think that plumbing issues they experience in their place of business are somehow related to the specific location, choice of building, neighbourhood, etc. The truth is, however, that plumbing issues can happen in every part of the country, in commercial buildings old and new. At one point in time, everyone has experienced a clogged toilet or a blocked drain. Although seeming simple, not all of these issues are easy to solve, and some of them need the help of a professional plumber. Leaking faucets While this is a relatively common occurrence in many public buildings, a leaky faucet can splurge a thousand gallons of water a year down the drain. This translates to hundreds of dollars you pay annually for the water you don't use. Faucets that leak are easy to spot, but can you be sure there are no leaks within your pipework, or behind the drywall? Water could pool under the floor, causing structural damage and mould. Make sure you schedule an annual plumbing inspection of your commercial property to make sure there are no hidden leaks in your system. Running toilets Similarly, to leaking faucets, these toilets…

Machine learning algorithm processes 56 million data points to identify the greatest investment potential across the U.S.   (August 28, 2018) CHICAGO – Enodo, an automated underwriting platform for multifamily real estate, recently applied its price and cap rate prediction algorithms to its database of 1.7 million assets nationwide to identify the nation's most statistically undervalued multifamily properties. According to Enodo's research, the assets identified by its algorithm are statistically underpriced for their respective markets, and rents in these properties can be raised by as much as 20% with minimal loss of occupancy. "By focusing our efforts on identifying undervalued assets, we've created an entirely new line of business for Enodo," said Enodo COO, Thomas Delaney. "Our clients are continually searching for the needle in the haystack, and Enodo just invented the metal detector. The implications are huge and we will be cautious and diligent as we explore this new opportunity." Using machine learning Enodo developed a method to systematically identify undervalued assets based on their individual performance amongst competing properties. The algorithm flags properties that are either prime value-add candidates or properties that are charging under market rate rents. After identifying the undervalued assets, Enodo applies its machine-generated cap…

The Coronavirus pandemic has left a sour taste in the mouth of a majority of the world's population. The effect of the pandemic is so much that many countries are seeking aid from others. Businesses have been adversely affected. Employers have had to cut their staff strength to cushion the effect of the pandemic on their businesses. At a point, the world seemed to have been brought to its knees as virtually everything had been brought to a standstill except the race to find a cure or vaccine for the rampaging virus. Tal Valariola: "Many people have filed for unemployment claims in many countries, which places more responsibilities on the overburdened shoulder of most governments. Investment opportunities have also been nosedived in several areas because of the absence of a ready market for services offered and products made by manufacturing and services-oriented companies. But do you know that even amid this pandemic, there are still those who are investing in one form of business or the other? Yes, some people have had cause to invest wisely in this harsh economic period. You can also be part of them, but first, you have to know the viable investment sectors to invest…

https://www.propmodo.com/virtual-tours-prompt-engagement-during-widespread-isolation/   You've seen the news. Due to COVID-19, travel bans are escalating, curfews are in effect, and most non-essential businesses and schools have closed or have limited hours. For the ones still open, most employees are working remotely. Right now, people are not inclined to drive around town to view properties. Tours put tenants at risk of exposure, especially in commercial spaces.  Steve Lefkovits, Executive Producer at Joshua Tree Conference Group, explains that there is "a huge chunk of the renting marketplace that won't feel comfortable mixing with strangers over the next couple of months, even if they are allowed to travel." Commercial real estate professionals are looking for innovative solutions as social distancing progresses. Deals still need to get done.       Bryan Colin, the CEO of the digital visualization company VirtualAPT, explains how deals will still get done in this climate. "Aside from the noise coming in from every direction right now, this market has winners, and it also has losers. That hasn't changed. Getting people in the door is the name of the game. That hasn't changed either. What's changed is how you get them in the door. How you use technology to show them what they can't see…

Jagaha has been in the commercial real estate segment for over three years, but prior to that, the parent company ran a local residential real estate brokerage that eventually started assisting clients to find offices on rent in Mumbai. The idea behind Jagaha.com came from a very bad experience the parent company, Bandra Rentals Pvt. Ltd.(BPRL) had in trying to find an office for one of its clients about five years ago. The client asked the rep at BRPL: "do you do commercial as well?" and the answer of course to that question, was, "Absolutely!" Having never done a deal for an office space in Mumbai, BRPL had to scramble and contact all local brokers in Andheri to find the right commercial space. It was a disaster. Problem 1 In BRPL's vast broker network across Mumbai, overwhelmingly the real estate agents had no pictures of their property that they offered to BRPL. In representing the client, BRPL couldn't even share pictures for the client to shortlist. Makes it a bit tough to offer great service to one's client, no?   Problem 2 The well-known property sites servicing commercial real estate in Mumbai did not verify properties, so when BRPL went online to inquire on…

Last week, our newsletter covered the implication of our latest milestone, passing 10 billion hours of building performance data. More specifically, how this massive dataset gets translated into learned insights, best practices, and pattern recognition that can help owners and operators save money or make better decisions. Many wrote back. The most common feedback (apart from "congratulations") was some variant of "I'm convinced that building data can increase NOI but seeing that practically laid out would be really helpful." As a general rule, we shy away from self-aggrandizement in our blog articles. However, it has become obvious from the emails we received that enumerating exactly how our platform is being used today would be highly valuable… So, let's dive in. What Problems Are Enertiv's Clients Solving with Our Platform? Enertiv's clients consist of REITs and private real estate companies. They own and/or operate a broad mix of office, multifamily, industrial, hotel and data center properties. Their investment strategies and lease structures vary widely. Some are comfortable at the very cutting edge of technology, others are just getting started on the digital transformation. As such, use cases vary a lot. This is a quick sampling of some ways Enertiv is being…

If you're tired of throwing your hard-earned money away on rent but not quite in the financial situation to apply for a mortgage, a rent-to-own home could be the perfect solution.  It offers you the flexibility to know that you're building equity while you're paying rent. So if you're curious about rent-to-own homes, stick around. In this article, we'll discuss the pros and cons of rent-to-own properties. What the Heck Is a Rent-to-Own Home?  In essence, a rent-to-own property allows you to rent a home for a specified time period before deciding if you would like to buy it. Then, the renter enters a contract with the landlord to buy the property within a set amount of time.  In some contracts, you can put a portion of your money towards the purchase price. That means you can walk away from the lease at the end of the contract terms if you wish. Rent-to-own properties make sense for people who want to eventually buy a property but aren't quite ready to buy yet. In addition, some renters need time to build up their credit or save for a down payment, and rent-to-own can give them that opportunity while they rent.  There are two types…

While the concept of the Metaverse has existed for decades, the Metaverse has become more popular recently – thanks in part to the pandemic.  When the pandemic upended daily life, people went from meeting in person to interacting with family, friends, school, work, entertainment, and more through virtual tools. The pandemic forced people to live a larger part of their lives online in shared virtual spaces – also known as the metaverse.   As the average person relied on the metaverse more heavily, it became a topic at the forefront of business, technology, marketing, and more.  But, what is the Metaverse? And, how does it impact PropTech? That's what we'll cover in this post. To get started, let's look at what exactly the Metaverse is.   What Is the Metaverse? The Metaverse is a potential successor to the internet. It makes use of virtual reality, augmented reality, the internet, and other tech to create shared digital experiences, spaces, and content. People can access the Metaverse from devices like smartphones, laptops, and VR headsets.  However, the Metaverse is a nebulous…

"We've aggregated 30 of the most commonly used property data points from national tax, deed and mortgage data and put them into our CRM," says Josh Haas, Apto's Director of Product.

With Apto Data, brokers get the missing details they've never had on…

If you are doing self-showing, how are you handling any concerns about cleansing between shows? (Summary of responses below) Companies are generally offering both, with virtual now ubiquitous and self-show at a growing subset of properties. In some properties leasing agents leave the unit unlocked for the day, with wipe-down of door handles and hard surfaces after each self-guided tour. There is little or no pushback from existing residents, particularly in garden-style - incidence was greater in high-rise. One operator just purchased wall-mounted infrared temperature sensors with alarm.  One…

Rental Concessions Gone Wild! Data Indicates City Living Loses Some Appeal   November 24, 2020–A combination of surging Coronavirus cases, new lockdowns, expiring government stimulus, and colder weather has set off a Rental Concessions bonanza in U.S. markets, as property managers, owners, agents, and tenants struggle to navigate continued volatility when securing housing plans before year's end. While we have seen Rental Concessions gain momentum as the pandemic continues, the velocity, size, and scope of some of Rental Concessions being offered in some markets have set off desperation alarm bells. Additionally, Rental Inquiries in most cities featured in this report show continued year-over-year (YOY) declines, as renters seek out alternatives away from urban centers, including rentals with more space, to combat the prolonged impact of the pandemic. Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Miami continued their months' long trend of lower YOY Rental Inquiry rates, while Chicago and Philadelphia remain volatile but managed to report higher numbers. In our seventh edition of the Rental Beast Market Report, we are pleased to include data and insights on the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, the fourth-largest urban center in the United States.   RENTAL CONCESSIONS Rental Concessions are compromises landlords make to original rent terms…
