Business Advice: To Buy or To Rent?
I’m looking to open my hair salon and have found a salon space in a shopping center for an attractive price. However, the rent is around $7,000 per month. While I’m excited about the location, I’m also considering whether it would be better to purchase a commercial property and invest that money toward paying off a mortgage instead.
I understand that being in a shopping center may attract more foot traffic, but I can’t shake the feeling that renting might be a waste of money.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
