The Commercial Investor

As it turns out, there’s a theme to the decisions all newbie real estate investors make.   They switch over from residential and most jump into the most familiar asset class they can find: multifamily. They’re doctors, dentists, lawyers -- all here to invest their capital into an industry they know nothing about.   The good news is that you don’t have to follow this pattern. Sure, you may make a few mistakes when getting started in commercial real estate; everyone does. But you don’t have to sacrifice your life savings or retirement “nest egg” by making the really big, really avoidable ones.   Tune in now to hear The 9 Mistake Every Newbie Real Estate Investor Makes… and jump ahead of the competition by learning beforehand how you can avoid every single one. HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: The 9 mistakes that all newbies and novices make when getting started in commercial real estate deals Looking at the market: which assets to avoid and which to pursue Commonalities for failure in all types of CRE deals The best place for burgeoning investors to start (hint: we call this the “50 mile” rule…) Why getting emotionally involved in your deals is the worst mistake any investor (new or experienced) can make   LINKS AND RESOURCES IN THIS EPISODE: www.TheCommercialInvestor.com/Blog www.DandrewPartners.com/Invest www.CQSI2017.com The Investors Syndicate The Commercial Investor Facebook page Leave The Commercial Investor Podcast a 5-star review on iTunes!

As obvious as it may seem, successful capital raising happens BEFORE you ever sit your investors down to ask the big ‘money’ question.     And take it from us… you don’t want to be acting like a dog in heat when that time comes around. So why not try the “conversational equity” approach to raising private real estate capital?     This approach is really simple. It centers around building “implicit trust” with friends, colleagues, and potential investors. That way when it comes time to fund your real estate deals, the money is already there, ready for you to access on-demand. You just have to worry about bringing the deals in...     But just like dating, there’s an order to it. You wouldn’t ask someone to sign a prenuptial agreement before the first date, would you? Then don’t do it in real estate!     Tune in now to hear Sal’s 5 Tips for successfully raising real estate capital… and start raising on-demand capital to fund all of your real estate deals and opportunities. HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Sal’s 5 Tips to effectively raise on-demand capital for all your current and future real estate deals and opportunities Why it’s important to raise capital before you start to source your deals (or “don’t put the cart before the horse,” as they supposedly say in Iowa…) The quickest way to become a real estate evangelist One filthy, dirty little secret about today’s real estate environment that’ll lead you straight to gold The difference between a real estate deal and a real estate opportunity (the majority of investors are dead wrong when it comes to distinguishing between the two…)   LINKS AND RESOURCES IN THIS EPISODE: The Commercial Investor Facebook page Commercial Quick Start Intensive 2017 Get your FREE GIFT at www.TheCommercialPitchbook.com Leave The Commercial Investor Podcast a 5-star review on iTunes!

CNN and Fox News will tell you the world’s falling to pieces -- and, in some circles, they’ll believe it. But not us. Anyone who’s dived into the world of commercial real estate investing knows that there’s great power in long-term thinking. Power in your investment, power in that long-term wealth generation, and power in the continued support you provide for yourself and your family. After all… what’s the point in feeling helpless or powerless when the world really isn’t going to end tomorrow? (Hint: there is none!) Back on The Commercial Investor Podcast by popular demand is experienced New York operator Augustus Moy -- here to give us the play-by- play on today’s real estate market. Augustus and Sal talk about the recent natural disasters, the not-so- static hotel industry, and more, tackling big questions like… ...How much of a market disrupter is Airbnb really? ...What are the pros/cons of investing in commercial real estate purely as an asset class? ...Hard asset investments and natural disasters -- are they still worth it? You can watch all the dismal newscasts you want, but unless you’ve already put the time in and are milking those cash-flowing CRE properties, it probably isn’t going to pay off… So press “play” now to tune in to the conversation… and see why it pays to live like the world isn’t going to end tomorrow! HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: ? Real estate asset class investments: the little-known pros and cons that Property Magazine won’t tell you ? From 2008 to today -- the commercial real estate “inning” we’re in now ? Natural disasters, hard assets, and INSURANCE (why not everyone’s going to cash out where Harvey and Irma are concerned…) ?

We’ve said it again and again: The wider an investment opportunity is made available, the less worthwhile it becomes. This explains why deals on Shark Tank and Craigslist aren’t the ones you want to be getting into. Those, along with multifamily properties trading at a 4-cap. But if you shouldn’t be investing in widely-shopped deals, then where should you be investing your time and money? One word: Niches. Jeff Knyal knows all about specialized commercial real estate niches… in fact, he’s a cell phone tower, wind turbine, billboard easement extraordinaire. Jeff built his company Landmark Dividends from the ground up… and he’s saved big companies like AT&T hundreds of millions of dollars with specialized programs he’s developed along the way. There are more ways to participate in real estate than just doing deals in multifamily… and there are far, far better ways to generate capital and build a name for yourself in the industry. Take a listen to Jeff’s story to learn how you can take advantage of specialized, lesser-known, immensely profitable commercial real estate niches you likely haven’t considered before. HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why it pays to invest your time and money in lesser-known deals and niches that most investors never even consider Different ways of viewing and participating in commercial real estate (you have to stop seeing CRE as JUST multifamily… it’s so, so, so much more!) How other sponsors play the markets in a very competitive real estate environment What an ‘easement’ is, how they work, and why they’re a worthwhile investment Everything about the cellular network business, the outdoor advertising industry, and other places where there’s money to be made LINKS AND RESOURCES IN THIS EPISODE: Go to LoopNetSecrets.com now for your free deal sourcing blueprint!

Remember when the federal government came out and said that ‘CRE investors may ONLY invest within 50 miles of their home?’ We don’t either. That’s because it never happened! No government authority in American history has EVER said you have to limit your investments to just where you live. So what does that mean for you? It means your investment opportunities extend far and wide -- much farther than you might realize. When it comes to commercial real estate, the world is, quite literally, your oyster. One particular institutional investor figured this out a while ago, and today spends his time searching out prime agricultural investment opportunities all around the globe. Take a listen here to learn what his tips are for becoming an ultra-successful global agriculture investor! HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The most straightforward way to source and approach deals within the realm of international agriculture How to leverage and use local politics to your advantage when investing pretty much ANYWHERE Ways to diversify risk in agriculture investments and ensure every portfolio is delivering the wanted returns The benefits of getting in at a good basis (and what a “basis” is, if you’re new to this game) The BEST and WORST areas in the world for real estate investors to consider (hint: this one country is a DEFINITE no-go!)

Q: What’s the fastest way to rise to the top of any industry? A: By just getting started… Tony Award winner Ken Davenport started where most successful people do: at the very bottom. But unlike most people first getting started in their field, Ken placed himself there intentionally. Now, the same man who ran around behind stage delivering coffee and steaks to affluent actors has also raised $20MM for a Broadway show, received three Tony Award nominations, produced more than 15 successful Broadway productions, and introduced capital raising via crowdfunding to the Broadway universe. Ken’s universal advice for success permeates through every industry: Just get started. In this exclusive episode of The Commercial Investor Podcast, you’re going to learn why starting from the bottom is so essential. And, even better… you’re going to hear from Ken himself all about how the most important thing you can do for yourself today is to just get started.

Economists and sell-side brokers, like weathermen, make many, many bad claims. Only they don’t have to live with the consequences of their claims, while you do.

It’s a well-known fact that commercial real estate is a relationship business, and your success as an investor will depend directly on how wide and deep your professional network is. How can you expect to find great opportunities and source high quality deal flow when no one in your network has access to these kinds of deals? And how are you going to relate to sophisticated investors if you can’t speak their language? In this episode of The Commercial Investor Podcast, Sal and associate Riley talk about networking in commercial real estate and how to build a bursting network of sophisticated investors without having to wade through all the phonies. Finding irresistible investment opportunities is easy, so long as you know the right people to source them from.   HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Why you should focus on quality -- not quantity -- when building your professional network.

How frequently you should do a “network audit” to ensure that the quality of your professional network is where you want it to be. The trick to viewing an investment opportunity dispassionately and coming out on top every time (ask yourself: Would you invest your life savings in this deal?). Why it pays to treat your professional network like an asset.   LINKS AND RESOURCES IN THIS EPISODE: CQSI 2017 LinkedIn Leaders: Pipeline To The Players The Commercial Investor Facebook Page Leave The Commercial Investor Podcast a 5-star review on iTunes!

If you’re investing in real estate right now, you’re leaping into a bloodbath filled with hordes of hungry, rabid, emotionally-driven investors.

In short, it’s going to be difficult to keep yourself away from the current chaos of real estate investments. So if now isn’t the time to invest, when is? And what should we -- the reasonable, dispassionate investors who aren’t driven entirely by emotion -- be doing in the meantime?
