Description
In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of commercial real estate—property explicitly intended to generate profit through capital gains or rental income. We explore the six main categories of commercial property, ranging from office buildings and retail centers to industrial warehouses and multifamily residential complexes.
We also dive into the mechanics of investing, looking at how investors analyze cash inflows, outflows, and risk to determine a property's value. Finally, we walk through the transaction process, explaining how deals move from a Letter of Intent (LOI) to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) and the critical due diligence phase. Whether you are interested in the $6 trillion U.S. market or just curious about how buildings do business, this episode has you covered.
