pexels photo 269077

In today’s highly-competitive market, how you handle a commercial property is not only essential for maintaining your current business, but it’s also key to generating new revenue. Unlike regular buildings, commercial properties are expected to offer more advanced features that are specifically tailored to the renters’ needs. This makes commercial building management a completely different task from the simple building maintenance. 

If you’re looking for tips to effectively manage your commercial property, you came to the right place!

1- Insure Your Building

With the growing popularity of commercial buildings across the world, especially around heavily populated areas like New Jersey, insurance coverage is now more important than ever. The insurance agents at the Insurance Center of North Jersey clarify that while commercial buildings offer exceptional versatility for owners and tenants alike, they also come with their own unique challenges. This calls for special insurance coverage to protect the property owner as well as the business owners and tenants in the building. Find out the right type of insurance for your needs and make sure that all the parties involved are covered and secured.

U.S. District Judge throws out lawsuit over the SALT Tax-Cap Challenge filed by New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland

Wyckoff NJ, After a federal ruling yesterday dismissed cases to rescind the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, Assemblyman Christopher DePhillips said that if Governor Murphy and Democrats were sincere about eliminating the cap on state and local taxes, then they should do it in New Jersey.

“Republicans tried to eliminate New Jersey’s cap on property tax deduction multiple times, and the Democrat majority voted to maintain higher taxes in each instance for no other reason than it was proposed by Republicans and it would keep up the fight against Trump,” said DePhillips (R-Bergen). “They obviously must not disagree on the substance of the policy if they are criticizing the federal law, which was based on New Jersey’s cap. It is completely hypocritical. If they don’t want a cap, then eliminate the one at home.”

Reader says , “we want to ensure the best for our kids”

cottage_place BOE_theridgewioodblog

“It’s a complicated topic. What makes kids great? Their SATs? Overall IQ? Their attitude towards overcoming adversity? Industriousness? Ethical grounding? A tough one.

Second complication is, what drives how well they do in all these criteria? How do you effectively quantify contribution from individual teachers, overall school program quality, parents, and just plain genetics?

To do this analysis scientifically is too much for any parent. Even a Ridgewood parent!

From a practical stand point, we want to ensure the best for our kids. And the way to do it is, keep pressure on teachers and BOE to keep delivering better results, spend extra on tutors, sports, etc as a parent… and keep property prices high to keep only dedicated (to education) families moving in to the village.”

Garden State Initiative’s president Regina Egea

Ridgewood NJ, While it news reports indicate that Phil Simms and Jon Bon Jovi are selling their high-priced, high-taxed New Jersey homes, possibly at deep-discounts, Garden State Initiative’s president Regina Egea recently authored on op-ed on how a crash of high-end real estate in Connecticut could be spreading to NJ – and what that means for Garden State taxpayers.

The Garden State Initiative is dedicated to making New Jersey a place where families and businesses can thrive. We are a nonpartisan research and educational organization that offers practical free-market solutions to the state and local challenges facing New Jersey.

A recent Wall Street Journal report “Wealthy  Greenwich Home Sellers Give in to Market Reality” on Connecticut’s real estate market should engender concern by all New Jersey residents.
