Commerical Real Estate

[Katorey Fields]

Hello Bp members,

I need some help looking into Commercial Real Estate and really don't know where to begin. I know it's different than residential, so anything will help I have been going to events and reading. It's kind of hard when you're not actually doing. Any advice would be grateful.

Thank you

Hey Katorey,

Can you be a little bit more specific in what you're looking to do or what you're looking to buy?

[Katorey Fields]

Sure no problem! I want to make sure I am taking the right steps in learning the correct information about obtain commercial property. I feel like I am everywhere with my learning process. I am looking to acquire 20 units in the next 2 years. Just want to be prepared and learn as much as possible.

If you're trying to learn the foundation about the commercial real estate investing and specifically referring to multifamily, there're tons of books. I'd start with the two of David Lindahl books, Steve Berges "the complete guide to buying and selling...", Ken McKelroy "The ABC's of real estate investing...". 

Also, start listening to podcasts by Jake&Gino, Rod Khleif, Michael Blank, Joe Fearless. Attend local  meetups that focus on multifamily or commercial real estate. 

If you need more recommendations, feel free to reach out directly.

Best!
