Timing the Commercial Real Estate Market
This article is probably not what you think it is about. Most people think about timing a particular market, hoping to buy at the very low and sell at the very high. However, in commercial real estate investing, the most successful investors haven’t timed the market -they simply became the market and held on.
During the 1990’s real estate recession Sam Zell was famous for saying: “stay alive til ‘95″
Meaning don’t sell, but simply hang on! Most commercial real estate investors are not that worried about market price gyrations as they are cash flow. Obviously cash flow can be extremely volatile when you are talking about properties that are extremely cyclical like a mall or a hotel. However, there are other properties that are not cyclical and offer very stable cash flow, with escalation policies in the long-term lease contracts.
Don’t you find it interesting that you never see a member of the Forbes 400 under the Real Estate Category swinging a hammer, refinishing hardwood floors, mowing the grass. More importantly, they didn’t do those things to get to where they are. They spent their time wisely and hired these services out, so they could properly scale their business.
My business partner and I developed a course called 3 Net Lease Profits, that let’s beginner investors take advantage of this opportunity.
We believe cash flow should be the main focus in commercial real estate investing. Some people have used the strategies we outline in the course to build multi-million dollar publicly traded companies. Others have simply used the strategy to buy one property and spend more time with their family without worrying about retirement or the stability of their job.
In summary, we believe that if you have an opportunity to educate yourself on investing in commercial real estate to add cash flow and stability into your financial future you should do it.
To boot, we also think the quality of the education is important. Rather than hunting and pecking through a million web-sites, we have a consolidated course with interviews from real estate professionals, case studies of actual deals, editable excel worksheets, course book, and another guidebook for all of your real estate investing needs.
The workbooks are also valuable because they give you a list of lenders that have experience in dealing with with unique commercial real estate deals.
I think its important to have a course rather than just a simple ebook from somebody who just wants to make a quick buck.
