“Bob” almost went broke in real estate during the Great Recession.
Then he bought a property, sold it, became the lender, and brokered it twice.
He was back on his feet.

A single unit franchisee drive thru building hit the market for $350K.
Seller was willing to “carry back” a loan for $250K at 6% interest only, so Bob needed $100K for down payment.

I’ve closed 110+ commercial transactions in just over 4 years. That’s roughly a deal every 15 days.
Here are 12 things I’ve learned about closing deals I wish I would have known on Day 1:

1 - If a retrade must happen, remove the mystery and avoid the squabbling by providing an exact invoice from a certified professional for the work needed.

In this thread, we'll cover how to properly describe the property being purchased.

You can find Part 1 here if you missed it.
First is the "real property" which includes the following:
- the land (usually identified with a formal "legal description")
- the improvements located on the land
- the appurtenances (i.e. things like easements and rights of way associated with the land)

Casualty and condemnation provisions address two critical yet unlikely situations that could arise before closing: (i) property damage, and (ii) eminent domain proceedings. Let's take a closer look at these concepts.
Lots of cold calling posts lately.
I am not a 100 calls/day caller. It's ok. If I make 5 calls/day average then jump to 30, big upside.
My thing? I count connections, not calls: meeting scheduled. 2nd call, market update/valuation, shared joke. However, I define it.

Scripts are good for cold calling. Better? Energy.
A monotone reading of a script doesn't engage.
Hesitancy doesn't engage, nor does steam rolling.
Use the old tricks to increase connection. 1.Stand up, jump around before a la Tony Robbins.
2. Smile while talking.

Now you've jumped around to pump your pre-calls energy, you are smiling on the phone. And NO One is taking your calls.
It's OKAY! A great note on this from @BobKnakal-If someone talks to you for 20 min, they're probably talking to everyone. Better to connect on 3rd-10th call

Today's #CRE term spotlight: Equity Multiple. It's a less common measure but an important counter to the typical IRR standard used in many real estate transactions. Let's dive in! #realestateinvesting
The Equity Multiple represents the gross return an investor receives compared to their initial investment, regardless of time. It's a simple way to gauge overall returns based on the total distributions received relative to capital invested.
Example: An investor seeking a minimum equity multiple of 1.50x on a $1,000,000 investment would require a return of $1,500,000. This indicates that for every dollar invested, they expect to get $1.50 back in gross returns. So why is this used?

Rent was only $2/ft. annually, price per foot entry point was only $46 - outstanding intrinsic value.

The year is 2017 and the subject project is a leasehold interest shopping center with a strong tenant line up that includes Starbuck’s, Chase, Burger King, Subway, and other nationals backed by franchisees.
It is one of the most well known locations in America on Michigan Avenue in Chicago centered above Millennium Park, home of “The Bean” sculpture.
15 mistakes I made as a #cre broker that cost me money — and even worse — time:
1. Bounced around CRM’s looking for the magic pill.
The perfect system doesn't exist.
Marry one, upload accurate data, and don't look back.

In land assemblage, the whole is usually worth more than the sum of the parts. In these transactions, due to two unusually shaped properties and different zoning districts, the sum of the parts were worth more than the whole.

2/12 Suggesting a tax lot subdivision, and a joint venture development strategy, which left one of the unwilling sellers with a retail condo interest, were keys to maximizing the value of all the component properties.

No doubt cold calling is a critical success factor early in your career. It’s hard to convert when you’re green in the biz, but there are a lot of ancillary skillets & benefits you gain while doing it.
But as you gain experience & track record and build some key relationships, there are better paths to success (and much higher success rates) than dialing for dollars.

Healthcare sale leasebacks are one of #CRE’s best kept secrets.

To understand this, let’s look at a couple trends in healthcare -
1) PE-backed groups are rapidly acquiring medical practices all over the country
2) Hospital system M&A activity hit an all-time high in 2022
Pretty much, hospitals and PE firms are on a buying spree!

When a doc group sells their practice, the RE owner gets what’s called a “credit enhancement.”

The best possible advice that I could give to a broker starting out is to get on the phone as much as possible. The more time you spend dialing has a direct correlation with the amount of money you are able to make. Here is how I would recommend that you get started.

First, you are going to need a way to access phone numbers. The best way to do this is through Costar and you will likely want to join a brokerage that provides these tools for you. Find your asset class and then find the 50 owners who own the most of your asset class.

Retail tenant decision makers are constantly getting calls and emails for opportunities within and outside of their area. I am always respectful of their time and take any work off their plate whenever I can. Always get confirmation they handle the area prior to sending.

Email subject line must be clear and concise: “Opportunity for X in Y MSA | Z, TX” and email along the lines of “I have an opportunity in Z market. Are you the best site selection contact?” Make sure you know their closest location.

2/16 I made my first cold call after placing a retail fitness tenant in a 2,550 SF end cap. I was fortunate to have a mentor who allowed me to show listings for him on tenants who did not have a broker so I could earn a commission in the event of lease.
