  • A brief overview of how both asset classes perform in the current market.

Deep Dive: Residential Property Investment

  • Pros: Easier to resell, lower entry cost, consistent demand (everyone needs a place to live).

  • Cons: Lower rental yield percentages (typically 2% to 4% annually in Pakistan).

Deep Dive: Commercial Property Investment

  • Pros: Higher rental yields (typically 5% to 8%+), longer lease agreements with corporate tenants, tenants usually take better care of the property.

  • Cons: Higher initial capital required, longer vacancies between tenants.

The Verdict: Which is right for you?

  • Choose commercial if you seek aggressive cash flow and passive rental income.
