9 Ways To Acquire Commercial Real Estate

[Richard Turner Jr]

Greetings to everybody! 

Recently, me and a past colleague were discussing what we found interesting about CRE when he mentioned that he heard there's "9 ways to acquire a commercial property" and he asked me was I aware of them. The answer was no. So me being curious, I searched specifically for what he asked me and I came up with this list from a February 2019 article in Forbes:

#1: Invest in real estate ETFs
#2: Invest in real estate mutual funds
#3: Invest in REITs
#4: Invest in a real estate focused company
#5: Invest in home construction
#6: Hire a property manager
#7: Invest in real estate notes
#8: Hard money loans
#9: Invest in real estate online

This is the original article from Forbes:

Are there any additional conventional or unconventional methods/strategies that aren't on this list that you know of from experience?

Thanks in advance for any insight or resources you can share.

Hi Richard,

My preferred way to invest has been via multifamily syndications. 14+ and counting. Best of luck!
