[@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.

[@gilbertrobles1374]

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

[@edithstinewoods3338]

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

[@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 👌💯

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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

[@AllHandlesRTaken]

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

[@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.

[@vincentprice4782]

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

[@Bacciagalupe]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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,

[@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

[@playhousefilms368]

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.

[@sojourneredmonson-sealy6779]

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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@AmaznlyK]

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

[@think4]

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

[@javedsiddiqi7637]

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

[@ronaldchristian1960]

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

[@AtheistCook]

I have a lot of respect for this gentleman.

[@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

[@caseynoble2766]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@zachfurr4110]

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

[@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".

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@hawkeye4469]

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

[@rc2466rc]

Great Video Sir. I woukd choose option A. I would then take the cash flow and by whole life insurance to protect my family and while it builds up I would use the cach from the policy to buy another cash flow property. Blessings to all

[@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.

[@realsoulrealestate7883]

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

[@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”

[@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?

[@TheNewLifeChannel]

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

[@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.

[@sykritmanuwva4472]

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

[@mcilwainc]

Great content. I would start with A. Also, I’d recommend using a microphone so that you don’t have that slight echo when you’re speaking. Keep them coming 😃.

[@lauresavalles4187]

A- long term, building passive income!

[@PaidinFull2024]

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

[@terridavid6124]

First, thank you - you are an excellent educator (speaking as an educator...). Second, I would chose A; it would be easier for me to get cash for a down payment then networking to make B happen.

[@kovy1]

A, definitely! Wholesale is taxes as active income.

[@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??

[@MobileHomeGeek]

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

[@syedoo7]

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

[@ericpalmer8250]

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

[@deonshearn5246]

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

[@Bacciagalupe]

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

[@florencebamideleorji6439]

B is my answer my Best MENTOR.

[@princeboateng1987]

I would like to have option "A"! Multiplied X 100 ! Amen to that ! 😊

[@tyrekclark6361]

(A) because it will provide passive income which I could use to purchase more commercial property. Save the cash flow to make an down payment on another 12 unit complex.

[@marlolacsamana7842]

I would like to choose A but in my situation it may be more beneficial for me to pick B. My next deal of the same deal I am choosing A. Thank You for the free education, I appreciate you.

[@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.

[@viclu77]

B，since I’ve doing flipping for a while. It is time to switch to CRE for CF. Thank you Peter for your informative videos. Happy holidays and Merry Xmas!

[@RawRx4U]

vl77 How do find deals and who to sell. And how to do such contract Help greatly appreciated

[@zitmo1]

B.......I want to build up more capital to add to my initial capital for a down payment. Thanks for the great info!

[@cynthiadomenack7383]

Great video! ( B ) is my answer, I want a nice amount right away so I can roll it into a bigger deal. B all the wayyyy!! Waiting for 20k to accumulate over years to put into a deal wastes too much time

[@killahbxt]

I would prefer doing both. I would invest the 40k B option into A option for more passive income and longevity.

[@allensmith5532]

Awesome, Peter‼️ The "A" option....

[@mguizar54]

Peter, I think I would like to go with (B). Great video I am in Arizona and looking right now at apartment buildings in Mesa AZ.

[@greg9797]

I would prefer B.

[@stevenbraden9480]

I have always been a buy and hold long term kind of person. I will take A.

[@sharrondajackson8935]

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

[@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?

[@vittoriomazzelladibosco5883]

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

[@Amaziah144]

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

[@jalabi99]

B then after paying off student loans repeat B a few more times so that I can do A.

[@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

[@stevewellman3154]

Very definitely: B! I would use the $40K to go after my next (BIGGER) deal.

[@ngohsamuel6204]

I choose option A

[@hleebarnes]

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

[@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?

[@AdrieandJudah]

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

[@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.

[@mcneilridore]

A - for sure the cash flow and passive income will go a long way thank you so much

[@AllHandlesRTaken]

I’m going to have to dumb myself down to be successful in this real estate game, it’s not rocket science nor anywhere in between. I must learn that arithmetic and finance economics are not the same, and my job is to learn where to place those numbers in a spreadsheet.

[@georgescotland5804]

B then A to build based on the ladder strategy

[@florencebamideleorji7269]

A is my favorite.

[@hemalthesecret]

(A) I am a business owner and own three fitness gyms on average to $4 to $5k in rent a month for an average 1500 sq ft with NNN on a lease. It’s time to buy my own and since I know how to operate any retail business successfully with a proven record, I need to consider in real estate. Luckily I have no mortgage on my home or cars. I’m debt free except from the SBA loans for the business. I could easily pay mortgage on a commercial property with my business but I don’t have the 25% down payment on a city that is booming. Dallas! However because I have a franchise license and territory where rent is $8k for 1500 sq fr, some parts of Neighbour hood are still growing. I’m in the right place and right time but don’t have commercial real estate knowledge. I have plenty of friends and family with money but I rather do this own my own as my first risk. Would you guide and mentor me?

[@bryonjohnson9661]

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

[@mazi_mazi_mazi]

B and repeat to save money for medium scale

[@novarossi7]

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