Process for selecting properties for further review

[Account Closed]

Would anyone like to share their commercial property search process?

For me, I start out by searching for what is available. This is more time consuming for commercial properties.

I then like to realistically determine which properties might meet my criteria.

I'v left out a lot of considerations, but want to start the topic.

Adding value has always been a big part of any of my investment decisions. I also want to know a property will cash flow even if the market is stressed. Obviously if a property can't cash flow under the best conditions it makes absolutely no sense for me.

Part of screening needs to consider what an investor is comfortable investing in. Office/Retail is different than working with storage, MHPs, multi-family.

I'm taking on a small mixed use building that cash flows well and has tremendous upside. It will be an interesting way to expand my horizons.

I would love to hear about how others screen commercial property deals. Someone new getting into commercial properties may not realize some of the hurdles.
