What Does It Mean?

Retail
/REE-tayl/
noun / adjective
The sale of goods directly to consumers, or more accurately, the last step in a long chain of people adding markups to things. Also: the type of commercial real estate where your tenants include a Subway, a nail salon, and an optimistic frozen yogurt shop that will be a different optimistic frozen yogurt shop in 18 months.
Origin: From Old French retaillier, "to cut again" — as in cutting a large quantity into smaller pieces. Which is literally what retail is: buying something big, cutting it up, and selling the pieces for more than you paid. It's been this way since the 1300s. Seven centuries of markup.
Usage: "What type of property is it?" "Retail." "Is it fully leased?" "Define fully." "...Is it leased?" "Define leased."
Investment
/in-VEST-muhnt/
noun
The allocation of money with the expectation of generating a return, or at minimum, the expectation of telling people at parties that you're "in investments." In real estate: buying a building and hoping the tenants pay enough rent to cover the mortgage while you pretend to be a real estate mogul.
Origin: From Latin investire, "to clothe" or "to surround." The financial meaning evolved in the 1600s, presumably when someone realized that putting money into something and hoping for the best could be dignified with a Latin-sounding word instead of just calling it "a bet."
Usage: "This is an investment." "How much have you lost?" "Investments don't 'lose,' they 'underperform expectations.'"
Property
/PROP-ur-tee/
noun
A thing that is owned, typically land or buildings. The only physical asset that real estate agents describe using words normally reserved for human dating profiles: "charming," "has character," "great bones." When modified by "investment," it means someone is about to show you a spreadsheet.
Origin: From Latin proprietas, "ownership, peculiarity." The dual meaning is appropriate because owning commercial property is indeed peculiar — you're essentially buying the right to worry about someone else's plumbing at 2 AM.
Usage: "I'm looking at a property." "Residential?" "Retail investment." "Ah, so you enjoy spreadsheets and anxiety."
