Good time to purchase Class B office space [Texas]?
Considering recession talks, work from home trends, and increasing rates, from purely a price point, tentatively when may be a good time to purchase a mid-size Class B office space (w/ cash), for my business? 

When may the prices be tentatively at their lowest (within the next 2-3 years)? Any insights? Thank you.

You can depreciate the building to save on company income taxes, if you were to finance (ik you said cash) you can deduct interest, and you could lease the space to yourself personally, pay your own company rent, and deduct the lease payment from your personal income tax. \n\nAll that being said, appreciation wise, class b office outlook is terrible. You will likely sell for less than you bought, even with some capex.\n\nYour motivation should be to save on lease payments and take advantage of tax benefits.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "is42o6n", "text": "Good question\u2026every market is different.\nIn Tucson class B space does well as a lot of office properties are older and there is limited class A space.

Typically business decisions drive real estate decisions and not the other way around. So my question to you is why do you want to purchase over what you currently have?", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "is8z4jj", "text": "I\u2019d say 6 months from now is going to be *a lot* better for your office space purchasing prospects.
