Hello everyone

I have been investing in residential and commercial multifamily properties for the past 2 years, but am getting very interested in the Commercial Investing (industrial/warehouse/retail) space. As a person who doesn't have much knowledge in this area, where would you suggest is the best place to start to get the ball rolling. I ordered a book that was suggested to me from someone in that space and have connected with a few people that work in this space, but just looking for other ideas. I am also thinking of starting a meetup focused on this space to meet as many people as I can and learn/connect with them. I feel its a little more niche compared to multifamily and harder to connect with people in this space, so any ideas you have would be great!

Appreciate it!

I am getting interested in learning more about the space and it’s options, benefits and possible growth potential.

I currently focus on commercial multifamily properties, which is great and all, but I feel retail/warehouse/office space can be a stable defensive move to do along with multifamily. Also it seems you can have your tenants almost cover all your expenses with the NNN and NN ways, which seems pretty awesome.

Can you increase the value/NOI as fast as commercial multifamily? I assume you buy locations that need work and then fix them up to be able to host/interest businesses better and charge more once the building is nice, which in turn increases it's value. Is it very location dependent, for example a storefront you want high foot traffic or off a highway? I would assume so. The leasing are much longer and more stable correct? It just seems pretty cool/interesting to me! Also helping small business owners is just an awesome thought.

I am a newbie on this space and in the very beginning stages of learning, but would love to see if anyone has experience, recommendations and/or stories about this space!

 You're right, I am starting to network and build relationships and letting brokers know what I am looking for. They do send me some deals, on and off market, but they are all just not working for my numbers. I do offer my numbers and try to come up with creative ways, but nothing has clicked yet. It is a numbers game, just got to keep doing it and one will come!
