Key Takeaways
- Buying commercial real estate starts with understanding the asset class, the market, and the deal economics.
- Underwrite to conservative assumptions — stress-test occupancy, rents, and expenses before committing capital.
- Relationships with brokers are how you find deals — the best opportunities come to buyers with a reputation for closing.
- Start with one asset class and one market — depth of knowledge creates competitive advantages.
