The all-in fixed rate is 2.10%, and let me repeat: fixed. Not LIBOR + spread + you need to have you savings account with us + you need to buy my home insurance,

I don't understand why you say "tread carefully"... when it's the bank bearing all the IRS cost. Plot any LIBOR curve, and you'll see that the bank is the one to lose here. Banks are fighting for customers, and cheap loans and mortgages is the game they are playing. I could go into more detail, but given that I have a 12 month DSRA account in place, I'm quite happy with the investment.

- brandon272 10y agoWhat happens if you can't find tenants for 12+ months? I've seen many commercial properties sit barely occupied for years.
- antr 10y agoWorst case scenario, pay the mortgage with my salary.
- brianwawok 10y agoSo that seems a pretty risky investment to me. Only a few percent profit for the risk of eating a giant monthly bill.
- antr 10y ago"Risky" investment for commercial real estate in a tier I area in a European capital? I find any residential property more risky and volatile, at least from a price elasticity point of view. I guess we have different views on how we perceive risk. But that is ok.
- brianwawok 10y agoI am not saying commercial is more risky than residential. I am saying for the low gain, I would not take that kind of risk (i.e. more than near 0)
- cylinder 10y agoI don't believe we'll see high rates in our lifetimes. The broad trends in developed countries are all deflationary.
