[@KingLehh]

The knowledge this man is passing on is far too valuable to be providing for free! Hats off to you sir.

[@brianphiri3582]

Peter you have one more student from Zimbabwe. You're such a great teacher Peter and I just love how you teach and make it easy for me as a beginner to love CRE. Since I want to go in the CRE business for the LONGRUN,I would choose option B first,then use the proceeds from there to acquire CRE under A, then hold that and keep repeating the process to acquire more properties.

[@vizualbandit5331]

Honestly I would like to start with "B" then move to "A" for the long haul since "A" can be scaled up from 12 to hundreds of units in the future.

[@zugdawg]

A AND B...lol

[@shalomsimpson3614]

Great minds think a like 👌💯

[@thaythichphaphoa_canada]

I would go with option B first for couple of deals to build up the capital, then go with the option A for long term progress.

[@edithstinewoods3338]

Option B: Looking at the long game, I want to build confidence and experience as well as seed money for the next deal.

[@StarseedGuru]

I choose A with a Cash out Refinance so I don't have to pay Taxes on the $40k Capital Gains. I will still get money out and still be able to hold the property for passive income.

[@Bacciagalupe]

A, for sure - building up cash flow from multiple properties to retire early, and live the life of your dreams

[@vincentprice4782]

"B" in order to build up capital and fund other ventures and an "A" option down the road

[@MrHav1k]

Your videos are miles better than anything I've ever seen out of any paid training by any guru. Fantastic!! I want to own commercial, but I haven't even done a single residential deal yet. I'm thinking about just going for it anyway since it's what I want. I'd maybe wholesale residential, but I wouldn't want to own it as an investment. They don't scale well.

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

Sure. Skip right to Commercial! No need to to fiddle with residential if you don't want to.

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

I appreciate you applying! The applications have been pouring in ever since the tax bill because it benefits commercial real estate investors so dramatically. We're swamped. It may be a while before we can dig out.

[@Autorepairtechs]

I would rather have A I definitely want to play the long game in real estate

[@ShakinMyHead3313]

Definitely A, the $200k a year. Long game, passive income!

[@crazzz-n5z]

A and B. 2 years isn't a long time but I'm not sure how much work's involved in maintaining A. Also depends on if there's an immediate reason or opportunity for B. But just from looking at the board, I'd probably stick with A, and you can do a cash-out refi if you need some extra money. Could also exchange it. Also watching the property value.

[@cesarbolet2181]

i will use my VA loan in order to start with option A, do it maybe twice, then move unto B, hopefully get to medium level then who knows. i am learning as much as i can first, and these videos are like eye openers. thank you. i am barely in my 40s, i got to do this.

[@gilbertrobles1374]

I would do "B" first. Double up on units then move to "A". Like your teaching methods. Just subscribed👍👍👍👍👍

[@valeriewilliams7585]

I would choose option "A"- I'm just getting started and I'm presently working a "4B" shift that's Wednesday-Saturday- 5am-3:30pm. This option would be vital for building capital and securing my present state of being; that would eventually allow me to leave my present job and the ability to focus full time on my real estate goals.

[@samojo1458]

(A) long term buy and hold then cash out refinance in the future as a down payment for a larger purchase

[@Sveltdre]

Sam Ojo And all the tax complications in between. These videos are very simplified. Almost too simplified.

[@lifebythelb7884]

B would be my goal, that way I’m not tied up in the property. Use the hard cash to invest into more wholesale deals. Eventually working my way up to having more unit’s in a property. To generate a larger return on my passive income.

[@Ybsjek]

Signed up for the prepotege course. Sending out letters and really excited for the process! I already quit my job earlier this year to run my appliance company. Excited for real estate success :) May God bless you for your efforts and kindness.

[@bellah.8796]

Hi Nate, I just wanted to check-in and see how you're doing in the process?

[@thomasodonnell6717]

I would like to do C. That's both A and B. one to start an income flow while wholesaling another deal to pump up the backup cash,

[@andelou100]

I choose B. I would prefer to get the lump sum and reinvest it into larger projects, keep climbing the ladder. I've owned 3 units in the past and had a property management company, but it was still a headache.

[@skorpyo331]

Was property management not getting paid enough?

[@AnglerUpTv]

Thanks for the video Peter. I would choose option A. I already have a little nest egg built up. I'm really more interested in holding property.

[@achesontrading427]

My answer would depend on 3 things: the direction of the economy, the stage of the cycle and my age :) For example, if the economy was still growing coming out of a recession and I was still young enough to handle maintenance, management & repairs, I would choose A. But if we're talking 2020 peak cycle I would get out of any and all profitable deals as quickly as possible saving cash for the next downturn.

[@caseynoble2766]

Option B to build capital for a larger long term deal.

[@menita75]

Greetings from Chile Peter, I bought your book and is my Bible for my first commercial real estate investment here. Stumbled on this video and glad to hear your advice! Thanks! (now you can also say your known not only in the US)

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

I've gone international! This is great. Thanks

[@Sateay]

Do you use the same Buying and Selling Contracts with Wholesaling Commercial and Wholesaling Residential? Do you use the same Title Company for closing?

[@jaalove1906]

I would like to start off with "B" and then eventually secure properties from option 'A". I have student loans that need to be paid off.

[@Strongs_G3528]

Excellent video as always Peter. I choose [A] but with a little more cushion added to it for a total of $28K CF/yr. I have a great wife with 3 children and I think it would be very uplifting for her to have this kind of passive income while being a full time Mother. Of course we would not stop there but this would be a pleasant start before completing a few wholesale deals and taking it from there.

[@ladystalker3953]

Wow! Tony you are truly what they call a rare pearl. I am amazed you are thinking about your wife in those terms just to benefit her in the long term, especially since staying home to raise kids truly handicapped woman financially. It's years of lost income they can never recoup, no matter what level of education or social standing you found them at the beginning of the relationship. Wow! I applaud you & wishing you many happy years together.

[@Strongs_G3528]

lady stalker Thank you Lady Stalker...your kind comment made made my night. Take care.

[@currency_deity]

I love your teaching style!🌹🌹🌹....very efficient, easy to understand😌

[@gnahthe]

A - Through forced appreciation, Increase the NOI, , thus increasing the property value. Use the increased equity to purchase another property, while still receiving cash flow from the initial property. Also, no capital gains taxes, which Option B likely will present.

[@Speak-peace]

I own a commercial property in a low income area there are empty lots around my property that’s for sale I’m wondering should I buy??

[@think4]

I’ve been trying to learn this for years! Great video!

[@ronizzle50]

Option A: I would re-invest the cash flow in the property to drive up rents (if the market supports) and cash out refi. That way I get a lump sum and still have cash flow.

[@novarossi7]

During the purchase, can you ask for the deposits from the owner?

[@ronaldchristian1960]

Peter You Are The Man! Thank you for Everything!!

[@dgore1680]

Excellent information! I choose " B" , use that capital to locate a Master Lease to Agreement (2-4 yrs.) hold and flip, while proceeding up the ladder

[@brandonclark8960]

I’d choose option b. It would get me the same amount of A in 2 years. I can also sell it or add value to increase rent, increasing cash flow

[@richardm9616]

I see the wholesale option as a means to get the Capitol for the cash flowing property which I prefer. I've just completed my first flip planning to 1031 exchange into commercial property. Your videos have been very helpful in understanding what my next move should be and how to approach it wisely. Thank you.

[@allensmith5532]

Awesome, Peter‼️ The "A" option....

[@Levelstomymaddness]

B all the way! Once I have cash on hand I can make more sound decisions and find a long term A type deal without the stress.

[@zachfurr4110]

I choose (B). That way I can eventually invest in larger & larger deals as time goes on.

[@javedsiddiqi7637]

Peter..you are doing great job...God Blessed you ..

[@AtheistCook]

I have a lot of respect for this gentleman.

[@ericpalmer8250]

Option B: I want to build confidence and increase my capital base for larger commercial real estate deals.

[@johnboy2776]

Does this apply for 2022 ?

[@saifm9285]

Yes. I would like to with option A.

[@gabrielmoore114]

Thanks Peter for the great information I would like to know how I could get the wholesale fee on a property so once I get a few of those I can buy my own property without using a lender.

[@alexgreenbergmusic187]

When a person is able to do large deals, when would it make sense to syndicate vs just doing the deals yourself without outside investors?

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

Even the largest commercial developers bring in outside money partners for their biggest deals; even though they don't need them.

[@kennethmiller2333]

B in order to feed A. That said, you won me when you said that you need to quit your job if it interferes with you managing other peoples' money. It shows you have a sense of responsibility when you have other peoples' skin in the game and expect your viewers to do the same.

[@jackbogary9637]

Your going to have to pay capital gains on that $40K whole sale deal. Passive income will be my choice and recommendation. My answer in "A".

[@danielcampbell5591]

I’m 23 and want to get into this young. I have a great job and am building a nest egg. “A” is what I would like to start with but long term I’d like to utilize “A” and “B”

[@sandireese6465]

A/ assuming it's +CF with upside potential. Also what type of lease and timeframe of lease?

[@RK_HVAC]

I am brand new to commercial investing, like a baby is to the world, I’ve been reading and researching real estate. Real estate is definitely my vehicle to gain wealth and retire on my terms. I choose “A” all day long. Passive income is key to wealth. I am looking for mentors so I can leap frog my learning. Any suggestions?

[@billconway2198]

B....wholesale 40k... Seems like low hanging fruit. As we get more savvy we get a few of these done successfully then implement the 20k cf per year strategy. Thanks Peter.

[@rileyaustin702]

If 2 duplexes are close enough in proximity to connect with an additional unit therefore making a 5 unit, would there be any other benefits besides added cash flow? Would that be more attractive to future buyers?

[@syedoo7]

Starting out, I would go with option B first. and use the $40k to invest in multiple CRE properties.

[@TR-oy6lc]

What is considered a medium apartment building vs a large apartment building?

[@topshelf8292]

(A) how many apt till do you consider a medium deal

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

50 - 200 units

[@topshelf8292]

Thanks.. I consider you to be a great realestate teacher/uncle and hope to close a deal under your tutelage

[@imeytc]

I would like to start with A and grow from there...

[@AmaznlyK]

Thank you for giving out value information without the FLUFF!!!! Question how does someone obtain the contracts purchase agreements for CRE?

[@omarblanchfield6717]

I like the straightforward content and explanations. I do enjoy other channels with the bling, but in the end we’re not trying to acquire liabilities, but passive income generating assets. Keep it up!

[@PaidinFull2024]

A. I prefer delayed gratification, plus the tax savings are enormous!

[@sirishgi2597]

Can we make it a thing like.. whenever we say commercial real estate, we are talking about real estate used for doing commerce and not some multi family apartment unit. Because commercial property investment is the most lucrative and no one talks about it

[@kaminieiko2562]

Thank you so much for the great videos. I have ordered your book. I choose A. Choice A would enable me to pay down my student loans AND accumulate passive income to be used to purchase another property. The additional purchase would then allow me to further accelerate my student loan payment.

[@warrenfisher5689]

I want to do B then A. B again then A if that makes sense.

[@bryonjohnson9661]

A would be nice but you would have to compile the annual income so you can bank your next endeavor.

[@sharrondajackson8935]

I would choose (A)and my husband would choose (B). Thank you very helpful

[@Amaziah144]

My answer is B then move towards A for capital on the first deal.

[@afewklikawayb.p.9098]

Can I invest in medium deals ,if I reside outside the United States, and how?

[@realsoulrealestate7883]

Both A and B. I think both strategies are effective.

[@mazi_mazi_mazi]

B and repeat to save money for medium scale

[@demuur2723]

[A] awesome videos by the way.. im excited about coming on board

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

A, Peter, great video. Could you do one on how you would approach each strategies in maybe a series of raising private money, acquisitions, analyzing, due diligence, and closing? Would really help see how the structure is set up for each strategy. Thanks!

[@teresariley2059]

Peter, do your students have their real estate licenses doing these methods?

[@Bacciagalupe]

Thanks for what you're doing here. This is really valuable!

[@rcruz401]

What if i get into a third house thats a 3 family. Isn't that considered a commercial real estate? Considering its an investment property that i don't live in

[@sykritmanuwva4472]

I'll say "B" because that would set me up with the cash-flow in order to accomplish "A".. for the Passive income.

[@mikemccarthy6719]

Does Peter recommend getting your CRE license or joining a brokerage to work with investors?

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

Neither

[@YSapphireGroup]

Peter, I love how you explain these CRE investing concepts! I got your book and getting RE Investing for Dummies asap! I am learning so much it is crazy... One thing though, I see the obvious similarities in the US and Canada but - as you can guess - I’m in Canada, in the always hot and crazy Vancouver market. I know in general, the concepts are the same and universal but what are the main differences I should look for, or do you have any tips for avoiding pitfalls while learning investing in the US market and not in my domestic one? Most videos i’ve found on this topic are from the US, by far, yours are the best. Also, would you be able to mentor an investor in Canada? I am super interested. I thank you in advance for giving this great material to us!

[@hawkeye4469]

A. Thank you for this video. I would like to learn more about B to build capital for A.

[@jakes5530]

What is the average appreciation rate per year for a commercial property? If I keep a property for 10 years, what would the average growth rate per year be?

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

Depends on the asset class, the way you manage it, the area, the economy, interest rates, and on and on and on. The best way to improve the value over time is to force appreciation by increasing the NOI.

[@jakes5530]

So if you force appreciation by increasing the NOI, you would have to increase it more than 3% a year or else youre not really making any more money right? (if the inflation rate is 3%/year on average) Is this realistic? How do you take into account inflation?

[@DeliciousDining4U]

A - I would like to build passive income. I would eventually sell the property to use it as leverage to buy another deal. I want to grow a portfolio.

[@vittoriomazzelladibosco5883]

I would like to start specializing in wholesale. Do you have a recommendation on where to start studying/starting?

[@rogue_KC]

(B) to begin with but I really see the pros in (A) especially for long term investments. I am trying to build generational wealth in my family so as I said (A) is realy the ultimate goal

[@deonshearn5246]

I am A all the way! These videos are great Thank you

[@lauresavalles4187]

A- long term, building passive income!

[@kovy1]

A, definitely! Wholesale is taxes as active income.

[@RickTurnerSylvaniaRealtor]

Hello Peter, my goal would be A, to buy and hold for cash flow.

[@Roboli-nr1mv]

Awesome teacher!

[@alexmtinajer]

If you asked me 3 years ago I would choose B to build capital for A. Due to my current financial mobilization I would choose A to have personal/financial interest met.

[@lamchop7222]

Hi Peter, When you do a cash-out refi, do you typically work with a different bank than the one you get the first mortgage with? Or can you go to the same bank from the first mortgage?

[@CommercialPropertyAdvisors]

Same bank but its smart to get them competing

[@nursejuneli2063]

B. Thank you for your awesome content!

[@mickga3564]

B. I am reading your book. Ty fornthe info.

[@georgescotland5804]

B then A to build based on the ladder strategy

[@gregorysmith1477]

It's hard to make a decision. They both have good value. But in today's market I might pick A. His very attractive but that process is hard to duplicate on a consistent basis.

[@jeffg6924]

My goal is to get as many units under me a possible... though there are times where only holding a property for a year or two make more sense.

[@hleebarnes]

I prefer B for start to generate more capital to do more wholesale deals. LeeB

[@dineshafrederick8925]

I chose (A) for annual cash flow

[@MobileHomeGeek]

B so i can pay off my school loans and be debt free!!! Thanks for your videos

[@AdrieandJudah]

B, i would use the money for bigger purpose to get to level 3 or 4 FASTER

[@kamleshthakkar3810]

Congratulations, Allyson!!! B

[@TheNewLifeChannel]

A. To me, it's about passive income covering my expenses of my desired lifestyle.
