Analyzing Commercial Properties

[Blake Lea]

Hello everyone. I am bringing this post to you all in hopes for some advice, like I always see on here.

My partner and I are getting into commercial real estate. Particularly syndication. I am having trouble researching and finding ways to analyze properties. This obviously plays an important role in this process and I didn’t know if you guys had any way of pointing me in the right direction.

Have you all learned off videos, paid programs, mentors, or even experiences?

@Blake Lea Try https://propertymetrics.com .  Basically, you plug in your inputs, and it spits out all the fundamental analysis you need.  DCF, ratios, proformas, etc. Excellent little tool but you also need to have a good understanding of analysis to take full advantage, as you said.  Gives you a chance to see how the inputs affect the outputs/analysis without getting lost in theory and excel fun land.  I think they have some learning tools in there too.  After that, take some courses on Udemy, there are tons of cheap/free investment analysis courses on there.  Then just read all you can find about the topic till your eyes fall out of your head! lol
