Commercial and investment real estate in Los Angeles
Looking to buy an income property, sell a commercial building or lease space for your business in Los Angeles?
Rana Khanjani, MBA, REALTOR® and real estate investor with Sync Brokerage, helps investors, business owners and developers buy, sell and lease residential income and commercial property throughout Greater Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. She brings the same investment-focused approach she uses on her own properties: clear numbers, careful due diligence and steady communication from the first call to closing, in English or Farsi.
Rana has sold commercial properties, leased commercial space for owners and tenants, and sold Ready-to-Issue development projects in Los Angeles.
What Rana helps with
Commercial sales
Retail, office and mixed-use buildings. For sellers: valuation, marketing to investors and screening of buyers. For buyers: underwriting, comparable sales and negotiation.
Commercial leasing
Office, retail and medical space for businesses that need the right location, and owners who need qualified tenants. Rana reviews lease terms, rent, escalations and responsibilities before you sign.
Residential income property
Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and larger apartment buildings. Rana helps buyers compare rent rolls, expenses and financing, and helps owners price and position a building for qualified investors.
Land and development
Lots and properties with development potential, including Ready-to-Issue (RTI) projects with approved plans. See her RTI projects in Los Angeles.
1031 exchange purchases
Rana works with buyers completing a 1031 exchange to find replacement property within their timeline, alongside their qualified intermediary and tax advisor.
How Rana evaluates an investment
Every property is treated as a business, not just a building. Before you make an offer, Rana walks through:
- Income: the actual rent roll, lease terms and how current rents compare with the market.
- Expenses: taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, management and reserves.
- Financing: down payment, rate and debt service, and how they change your cash flow.
- Return: cap rate, cash-on-cash return and cost per unit or per square foot against recent sales.
- Rules: zoning, permitted use, unit legality and the City of Los Angeles rent rules that may apply.
- Exit: how and when you might sell, refinance or redevelop.
