Yes, mixed use smaller town Main Street properties, such as those found in most historic downtown businesses districts with ground floor retail, upper floor office and apts.
I read an article about the commercial real estate market, and it’s pretty crazy right now. Office spaces are empty, retail spaces are struggling, and it seems like the whole market’s shifting
Yeah, I heard about that too. It feels like one of those times when you have to be extra careful about where you’re putting your money. Real estate used to be a pretty stable bet, but now, it seems riskier
Exactly. I’ve been wondering if it’s still worth investing in, or if there are better options while things settle down. You don’t want to miss out if there’s a turnaround, but you also don’t want to sink money into something that’s going nowhere
That’s what I was thinking. Sometimes it’s better to have a financial expert help you weigh these decisions. I actually talked with a Certified Financial Planner, Nora Jean Erickson, who really helped me sort out my options. She explained which real estate investments could still make sense and helped me see alternatives I hadn’t considered
Nora Jean Erickson? That name rings a bell. Doesn’t she offer free consultations? I wouldn’t mind some guidance, especially with how unpredictable real estate is right now
Yes, she does. And she’s good at tailoring her advice to your situation. She helped my friend look at whether it made sense for him to hold off on real estate and focus on other areas for now. He ended up with a more balanced portfolio that could handle market shifts better
Can you make a video on the most effective way to stay up to date with the real estate market. Specifically, the resources you check on a daily/weekly basis, reports to look out for, etc.
Biznow, costar (if you can get a subscription), Wall Street journal real estate section, and the most “ears to the ground” way is speaking with local brokers/developers frequently working the area you are interested in (networking events, email, calls). Hope this helps
I'm not very tied into this world, but I connected with a former broker by the name of Rich Hamilton that recently put out a training on this. I haven't personally been through it, but if you're interested, see this link for more details: www.catalystcommercialre.com/course
Just wrapped up my master's in Real Estate and Infrastructure and finding a job has been brutal. I have been applying since May and it's getting frustrating. Hoping this will change soon.
Possibly, yes - a lot of investors that took out floating rate loans in 2021 and early 2022 have been hurt pretty badly over the last two years (so there will inevitably be hesitation there), but a belief that rates will drop could sway interest back in favor of floating rate debt.
Ended my internship a month ago, but I’ve been looking for a job for about three months. Interview after interview I keep getting told the market is down or I don’t have enough experience yet. Very frustrating. Appreciate the video Justin.
Totally understandable and you're absolutely not alone right now. If transaction activity picks up later this year, you should start to see some more traction as we head into Q4. Keep working hard and don't give up if CRE is where you want to be - it might seem like a disadvantage right now, but the people beginning their careers today are very likely starting on the upswing of the next growth stage in the cycle.
You are lucky to even be getting interviews! Most stuff on Linkedin gets like over 1,000 applications and I don't ever hear back. I've gotten 3 or so interviews in 3 months of looking. I'm not even a bad candidate, decent gpa from decent school with a triple major including real estate, some relevant experience and nothing
If you are looking for vid ideas, some topics which confuse me and I would like clarification on is how different type of companies profit & receive income - such as: - investment management company focussed oN CRE - PERE Group - Development Group Etc. Cheers
Want to show appreciation for linking the sources to the articles, papers, etc. you discuss. Have you done a video on the main sources you look at every day, week, month. etc.?
Glad the links are helpful! Absolutely - see this video for more information on research resources I use: ruclips.net/video/Z6p3AJGFPAM/видео.html&pp=ygUoYnJlYWsgaW50byBjcmUgbWFya2V0IHJlc2VhcmNoIHJlc291cmNlcw%3D%3D
Hey Justin, great video. Wanted to see if you have any training courses in your CRE academy that focus on CRE debt origination / perspective of the lender? (Bank or private lending)
Most ground leases I see are retail pad sites near shopping centers, companies like Panda Express seem to like developing on those sites and are willing to ground lease. Talk to major brokers in your area bc they are likely the ones marketing those sites if they're close to shopping centers, talking people from CBRE, C&W, JLL, Colliers etc, just drive around and look for signs. To get a ground lease going you'd need a development-ready site, with grading completed and in some cases with an approved site plan for a building up to X square feet or whatever. Good luck because those sites are expensive
We don't currently have any classes that go into this subject in detail, but the other comments in this thread are great starting points. Finding well-located land at an attractive price point and building relationships with tenants are some of the biggest components of doing this successfully. Good luck!
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Hello, how do you achieve such weekly returns? As a single parent i haven’t been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong
Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.

What training do you recommend for business development such as cold calling?

What school did you attend ?
So, could this make customers who are interested in CRE be more interested in variable rate mortgages during this time?
Possibly, yes - a lot of investors that took out floating rate loans in 2021 and early 2022 have been hurt pretty badly over the last two years (so there will inevitably be hesitation there), but a belief that rates will drop could sway interest back in favor of floating rate debt.

@@BreakIntoCRE Thanks!
what about the impact of remote work on office spaces?
Hey Justin, great video. Wanted to see if you have any training courses in your CRE academy that focus on CRE debt origination / perspective of the lender? (Bank or private lending)
Unfortunately, we do not. Sorry about that!
@@BreakIntoCRE No worries and thanks again for the great videos / CRE academy.
Newmark is the best
Do you have a class where to learn about investing in ground leases? I want to focus my investing efforts on buying land and lease it to others.
You don’t really need a class, talk to tenants and see where they want to be and go from there

Maria Angelina Alexander I really appreciate her efforts and transparency.
I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
This is a definition of God's unending provisions for his people. God remains faithful to his words. I receive this for my household.🙏
