New to CRE Investing - entry strategies

[Kiswood Diogene]

Hey BP! Hope everyone's doing well.

First time looking into real estate investing, and I've been researching different ways to get started with CRE without needing millions upfront. I've come across some interesting niche strategies like buying small plots of land and slowly building, investing with a team/syndicatikn (if you find a good one), or even funding smaller infrastructure projects for commercial properties (e.g., electrical, plumbing, etc.).

I'd love to hear from those of you who got into commercial real estate or found a unique entry point into the space without a ton of capital..say, under $100K. What strategies worked for you? Any lessons learned?

Looking forward to your insights!

I started investing in CRE with friends by pooling capital with them to get in on deals. Started a real estate investment club. The investment club model helps the individual investor invest in million dollar real estate deals without needing to have millions of dollars. We all vet the sponsors/partners, the deals, etc and if we like & believe in the opportunity then we each put our funds together ($5k or as much as one would like) and invest in the deal. Great way to get your money working in a variety of real estate asset classes without the huge cash outputs typically needed.
