Content: These types of property are better categorized as commercial real estate. What are zoning laws? Both residential and commercial properties are governed by zoning laws. Residential zoning laws may limit the types and numbers of homes that can be built or placed in certain areas. Residential zoning laws may also regulate things such as noise in the area, types of animals allowed at residences, and whether you can run a business out of your home. Residential vs commercial property
Commercial real estate is business-focused, meaning that the owner of the property uses the property for a specific business objective. The owner expects to make a certain return on the investment. Residential property is for non-business use, most often to provide a home for individuals and families to live in. Most people take out a mortgage in order to purchase property. However, residential and commercial mortgages have significant differences.
