Real Estate Investments
DMC Real Estate helps investors identify, evaluate, acquire, and sell commercial real estate investments throughout Los Angeles, Southern California, and select markets nationwide.
With more than 20 years of real estate experience, DMC Real Estate works with private investors, business owners, property owners, and 1031 exchange buyers seeking commercial real estate investment properties that meet their individual investment objectives.
Our experience includes multifamily properties, shopping centers, retail properties, NNN investment properties, office buildings, industrial properties, mixed use properties, and other income producing commercial real estate.
Commercial Real Estate Investment Properties
Every investor has different goals. Some investors are looking for stable cash flow and long term tenants, while others are searching for value add opportunities with the potential to increase rents, improve occupancy, reposition a property, or increase overall property value.
DMC Real Estate assists investors with the acquisition and disposition of a wide range of commercial real estate investment properties, including:
• Multifamily apartment buildings
• Shopping centers
• Retail properties
• NNN investment properties
• Single tenant net lease properties
• Office buildings
• Industrial properties
• Mixed use properties
• Value add commercial properties
• Owner user investment opportunities
• Development and redevelopment opportunities
We help clients evaluate the numbers behind a property as well as the real estate itself.
Commercial Real Estate Investment Opportunities
Finding attractive commercial real estate investment opportunities requires more than searching public listing websites.
Our team actively communicates with commercial property owners, brokers, investors, developers, and other real estate professionals to identify both publicly marketed and potential off market opportunities.
When evaluating a commercial real estate investment, we can help investors review factors such as:
• Current rental income
• Net operating income
• Capitalization rate
• Occupancy
• Existing lease terms
• Tenant quality
• Operating expenses
• Market rents
• Potential rent increases
• Deferred maintenance
• Financing considerations
• Future development potential
• Value add opportunities
• Potential resale value
The goal is to understand both the current performance of the property and its future investment potential.
Commercial Real Estate Investment Sales
DMC Real Estate represents owners in commercial real estate investment sales throughout Los Angeles and other markets.
For property owners considering a sale, we analyze the property, current income, expenses, leases, comparable sales, capitalization rates, market conditions, and potential upside before developing a pricing and marketing strategy.
Our commercial property marketing can include direct outreach to investors, targeted email campaigns, investor database marketing, commercial listing platforms, broker outreach, social media advertising, direct calling, and targeted text campaigns.
Our goal is to expose each investment property to a broad pool of qualified commercial real estate buyers.
Commercial Real Estate Investment Broker
Choosing the right commercial real estate investment broker can make a significant difference when buying or selling an income producing property.
Commercial investment transactions often involve more than negotiating a purchase price. Investors must consider income, expenses, leases, financing, tenant risk, physical condition, environmental matters, market rents, future capital expenditures, and potential exit strategies.
DMC Real Estate combines brokerage experience with investment analysis to help clients better understand the financial and real estate considerations associated with a transaction.
Our clients also benefit from access to an extensive network of investors, property owners, brokers, lenders, and real estate professionals.
Commercial Real Estate Investments Los Angeles
Los Angeles offers a diverse range of commercial real estate investments across multiple property types and submarkets.
DMC Real Estate is based in Los Angeles and has extensive experience with commercial and multifamily properties throughout the San Fernando Valley, West Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, North Hollywood, Woodland Hills, and surrounding Southern California markets.
Opportunities can range from smaller apartment buildings and neighborhood retail properties to larger shopping centers, office buildings, industrial properties, and redevelopment opportunities.
Because each Los Angeles submarket can perform differently, investors should consider location, zoning, tenant demand, rental trends, replacement costs, property condition, and the long term potential of the surrounding area.
NNN Investment Properties
NNN investment properties can be attractive to investors looking for commercial real estate with reduced management responsibilities.
In a typical triple net lease structure, the tenant may be responsible for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses in addition to base rent.
When analyzing an NNN investment property, investors should consider:
• Tenant credit and financial strength
• Remaining lease term
• Rental increases
• Lease options
• Corporate versus franchise guarantees
• Property location
• Building condition
• Future reletting potential
• Rent compared with current market rent
A strong tenant and long lease can provide predictable income, but the underlying real estate and lease structure remain important parts of the investment analysis.
Shopping Center Investments
Shopping center investments can provide investors with diversified rental income from multiple tenants within a single property.
DMC Real Estate has experience working with shopping centers and retail properties and understands the importance of evaluating tenant mix, lease expirations, occupancy, rent levels, operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, NNN reimbursements, parking, visibility, access, and surrounding demographics.
Shopping centers can also offer value add opportunities through lease up, tenant replacement, rent increases, redevelopment, improved management, or better use of underutilized portions of a property.
Multifamily Investment Properties
Multifamily investment properties remain one of the most widely recognized forms of commercial property investment.
Apartment buildings can offer investors recurring rental income along with potential long term appreciation.
When evaluating multifamily investment properties, we review factors including current rents, market rents, operating expenses, vacancy, unit mix, building condition, rent regulations, potential renovations, and opportunities to improve income.
In Los Angeles, investors should also carefully evaluate applicable rent control regulations and other local and state requirements when considering a multifamily acquisition.
Commercial Property Investments
Commercial property investments can serve many different objectives.
Some investors prioritize immediate income. Others are looking for long term appreciation, value add potential, redevelopment opportunities, inflation protection, or diversification from other investments.
There is no single commercial property that is appropriate for every investor.
Our role is to help clients identify commercial property investments that fit their individual goals and then provide the information and analysis necessary to evaluate the opportunity.
1031 Exchange Commercial Real Estate
A 1031 exchange may allow qualifying real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling investment real estate and acquiring qualifying replacement property.
DMC Real Estate works with investors searching for 1031 exchange commercial real estate and can assist with identifying potential replacement properties within the required timeframes.
Potential replacement properties may include:
• Multifamily buildings
• Shopping centers
• Retail properties
• NNN investment properties
• Industrial buildings
• Office properties
• Mixed use properties
• Other qualifying investment real estate
Investors considering a 1031 exchange should consult their tax advisor, attorney, and qualified intermediary regarding eligibility, deadlines, structure, and tax consequences.
Buying Commercial Real Estate Investments
If you are searching for your next commercial real estate investment, DMC Real Estate can assist with property identification, financial analysis, negotiations, due diligence, and the closing process.

Our team can also conduct targeted searches based on property type, location, purchase price, desired return, investment strategy, and 1031 exchange requirements.
Selling a Commercial Investment Property
If you own an apartment building, shopping center, retail property, office building, industrial property, NNN property, or other commercial investment property, DMC Real Estate can prepare an analysis of the property’s current market value and potential selling strategy.
Our commercial real estate investment sales process focuses on presenting both the existing income and the future investment potential of the property to prospective buyers.
