Thank you all for the feedback! @Jason Merchey I am just talking commercial as a whole, whether it be me buying it myself or as a GP in a syndication. I am just trying to understand the space more.

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!

Quote from @Pat Lulewicz:

@Wendell Butler you're going to find A thru D depending on where you look, as with any city in NC. By avg price per unit, are you specifically directing this question towards multifamily? The $/unit will vary on size of the multi and your asset class. If you're referring to SFH though, you may be more interested in the $/sq ft metric.

Same goes for rents. You're seeing ~$1/sq ft. Smaller properties in good locations that have undergone a beautiful reno can get closer to $1.5/sq ft.

Narrow down the product type, criteria, and goal, and happy to help provide more specific locations and #s.

Thank you for that information!

Quote from @Ronald Rohde:

There's a lot to unpack in your post.

Retail/Industrial/office are all very different in terms of economic outlook, investment thesis and operations.

NNN does have reimbursement for operating expenses. The longer terms leases limit your downside, but also cap upside until a new tenant comes in or rent resets.

Fixing them up generally means improving vacant units, vacancy=risk.  Follow my Youtube channel for more details!

Awesome, I will definitely give you a subscribe to learn a bit more!

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!
