The Easiest Commercial Property for Beginners to Own

When you’re first getting started in commercial real estate, there’s one asset type that stands out above the rest for beginner investors: flex space. It’s similar enough to small multifamily (like a 5-plex) and has far more benefits that buying apartments. Let’s dive into the actual numbers behind doing flex warehouse investing so you can confidently buy your first commercial property.

Hello. Would you need to be a licensed agent in order to take the commercial real estate course?

[@rickdunn3863]

I think ANYONE who is interested in commercial real estate need to investigate getting financing before they jump in. I am a residential real estate investor, but when I bought my first commercial metal building in Industrial zoning I hit a brick wall with financing. I could only get a 5 year ballon mortgage. I was told this is how commercial real estate financing worked. I know not to do ballon mortgages since I don't have a crystal ball. How I got around this was a SBA loan on the building. I personally like residential over commercial for a bunch more reasons.

[@TylerCauble]

100% - that's usually the first thing I recommend anyone interested in commercial real estate do: build relationships with commercial brokers and commercial lenders. The process is very different from residential real estate

[@realtorlifewithdave]

This is exactly what I'm going through right now!! But SBA requires 51% owner occupied.

Good video an so true. My first business was a coffee microroastery and getting flex space that is affordable and can be permitted for food production is hard. IN Tampa we had a surge inlocal craft food and these spaces became $. I found one across the bridge in St. Petersburg and I spent years in the space observing other businesses. I quickly realized, that this is the business I should have been in. 1500-2000 sq ft flex spaces are incubators for small business for everthing from food, services, light manuf., logistics, retail/wholesale. Construction is straightforward. If I have the capital in the future it would definitely be the commercial project of my choice-having been a tenant myself

Dude is on point. This is the game I played. More money in your pocket if you develop, good deals are "rare", Commercial loans cost more short term with balloon payment, I could not get one had to non doc loan 2 houses and still did not have enough money to finish. Luckily I was able to sell my house at the time, made 100k in one year. Project was finished in 2007. Just sold at 100% profit. Just 1031 to a 9% cap rate with 5 year leases. Did alot of research. Get a rood inspection as this can numbers fast. Nothing is easy but this is doable but you need money to start and the land.

[@TylerCauble]

That’s pretty much exactly what I do - do an “active” deal where I have to put a bunch of work into it, then 1031 the proceeds into a STNL or other NNN lease deal to set it and forget it, then repeat the process. Doesn’t take too many of those to retire

I’d recommend discussing that with your contractor, they’ll likely be able to point you in the best direction. Butler tends to be what I see most frequently

[@howiecoro]

Understandable… yes I have heard of Butler… I was just curious because what I noticed was a lot of these steal building companies are brokers and just do the engineering… and then it all gets manufactured out of the same plant… depending on location in the country… I am assuming there is cost savings depending on the engineering company that is all the same materials.

[@terrifictonyschannel2071]

Nice video, but...I think the major issue is on raw land you will need to own it 100% no financing, for most banks to finance the development part. As for the development funding, you will probably need to have a competent partner who has a track record or a very good contractor with a history of building these, for a bank to lend you the construction loan and possibly still have to personally guarantee the loan. Can't say it cannot be done but those are probably the major hurdles. I saw your comment on 1031 into the raw land, I would imagine that can be done as it's still an investment property, and total investment costs (with the development) would have to be higher than the building sold. But the thumbnail says "Best for Beginners"?

[@JohnHandle-]

This is pretty easy for beginners. Money isn't really a concern even for people starting out fresh. How many investers do you think would be needed to make something like this happen? 1 or 2 hundred regular blue collars could make this happen easily. It's the easiest thing in the world. Everyone has at least a few hundred friends on facebook. Send out the message, even if only one or two percent of your friends list responds with interest- that gives you access to their friends list and the snowball has started. Money is the first problem an entrepreneur learns to navigate around. If you can't raise funds then you aren't even here yet.

[@TylerCauble]

Yep - paying cash for the land is typically the best way to approach development

what type of tenant fit out are you including? If a tenant want's more office than warehouse who pays for the fit out?

[@TylerCauble]

It's all negotiable depending on what you want and what the tenant wants. If they want you to pay for it as the landlord, then I would amortize it into their rental rates. If they're willing to pay for it, then I would likely give them some free rent to help cover it

[@raymieyounkin7498]

Did you address build-out costs for each tenant and I just missed it in the video? I would think those additional costs would quickly erode the gains on resale after being leased-up.

[@TylerCauble]

Buildout costs are usually in the $10-$20/sf range but can range anywhere from $0 to $50+ depending on what you negotiate. Those costs are already included in my assumptions in this video, though.

Nice!

[@crgshell]

I wonder how many of these metal buildings you put up your numbers seem to be highly optimistic. Have you factored in infrastructure cost you’re going to need on an acre of land. Most cities charge tens of thousands of dollars to hook up to the sewer and water or you’re gonna have to put it in your own septic system, and water-well. most urban areas are going to require you to put in sidewalks and street lighting that needs to be engineered. In fact you’re gonna have to submit engineered plans in most cases.have you factored in the cost of three phase power hook up being brought onto your property? That can be quite expensive and here in California PG&E has a one-year backlog on that and PG&E, won’t even except an application until you’ve got your building and planning permits issued by the county or city. also, if you’re going to use it for anything other than storage or industrial, you’re going to have to figure out some inside finish, which can be costly as well. Have you factored in handicap egress? I’m actually in the process of putting up 100,000 square-foot metal building in Santa Barbara county and I’ll tell you a few other things that I’ve had to contend with. Perk test, parking lots, soil, compaction and engineering, traffic, mitigation, plan, stormwater, mitigation plan, landscaping and vegetation plan, exterior lighting, electrical power offset agreement, biological resource plan and wildlife corridor‘s there’s more but that’s this is off the top of my head. I know Santa Barbara is probably more restrictive than most of the rest of the country but you’re gonna have to plan for this type of compliance. Lastly, in your video, when you’re speaking about pickle ball, you’re showing an image of a squash court?

[@TylerCauble]

California is a major exception in nearly almost every conversation around commercial real estate because their rules and regulations are far stricter than most states. These numbers / approaches work pretty well in rural / suburban locations in the South & Midwest, but California is a different beast. You’ll also be charging different rental rates, so always best to study your specific market

[@krashanb5767]

[@plv702]

I was intrigued so I watch the video but when he said 300k down I was like whoa. Think about it how many people have 300k to build a commercial building? I think this is why you said there are not enough being built. So for me it makes sense to start with residential real estate until you can build a nest egg to possibly try commercial. Big risk tough!

[@ShameenYakubu]

Obviously? It’s commercial. It can’t be compared to residential.

How can I learn more about this and what is a good amount of capital to start with?

[@TylerCauble]

Got plenty of videos on this channel for you to learn about investing in CRE! The amount of capital depends on what you want to do. If you’re wanting to invest by yourself, then likely at least $250k. If you’re investing with others, then likely around $50k. But it all depends

[@alr5373]

Generally, commercial is non-residential buildings that don't contain warehouses. They mainly contain office space. Industrial property are also non-residential buildings that contain mainly warehouses. Knowing the difference between these are important because commercial are already in a recession and prices are about to get hit really hard. Couple that with remote working technology, office buildings may never come back to where they were before. Industrial are at their opposite. That's why these metal building fabricators are so busy.

[@TylerCauble]

Industrial is a good market right now for sure. Lot's of opportunity to convert 1-2 story office buildings into flex space, as well

[@jacobissa584]

When building a flex space. What is the recommended minimum and maximum sqft per unit?

[@TylerCauble]

It depends on your market. You’ll want to survey other flex building to see what people are and aren’t leasing. Typically, I aim for around 2,500sf. That could be as small as maybe 1,200 or as big as 10,000

Unfortunately, selling the property multiple times deems developer as an operator and avoids capital gains treatment on the sale of the asset versus refi and holding asset which is not a tax event. Need to go to after-tax Analysis to understand the negative in rapid sales.

[@TylerCauble]

That’s not entirely true. Selling the property you 1031 exchanged into in less than a year after buying it could trigger some questions from the IRS. You need to either hold it for a year or be able to prove that it wasn’t your intent to flip it. In that case, you’re fine to 1031 exchange as often as you want / need

@apogeus2 money buys food 😂

Ok. So start off life rich and you can get more money? I can’t believe it’s been so simple all this time!

[@TylerCauble]

Well, that’s not how I got my start but that would’ve made it easier 😂

[@1970broncoman]

So my question would be, how do I do this without using any of my own money.

[@chidieberechimezie2053]

private money lenders do it, i know few..

[@TylerCauble]

I've got a video on that, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYS5f5hris92gKs

[@BlackRifleRack]

Best to use your own. Risky business they just might end up with your hard work. Price to pay.

Too bad this isnt about UK market

[@TylerCauble]

I wouldn't make taking it across the pond! Haha

[@waterdesign6647]

An acre ?…. Lmao. I need advice for Long Island .

[@TylerCauble]

Advice for Long Island: Look outside of Long Island 😂 The NYC area is a tough location to get started because of the costs - the barrier of entry is just so high. That’s not to say that you couldn’t find a wealthy partner to help you get started, but it may be worth exploring secondary and tertiary markets for investment.

House 🏠 $465,000 Actual value: $45,000 I have always felt the real estate market is erroneous as well as asinine. I haven't bought one in years, but I do remember the frustration of agents attempting to use status quo selling points that have no relevance on my buying decisions.

[@TylerCauble]

What do you mean by “actual value: $45k?”

[@DH-lc4do]

said pickleball but show a clip of racquetball

pickle ball... so you show a video clip of guys playing squash in a court

[@dmustakasjr]

so its a new name for warehouse space.

[@TylerCauble]

No - it’s the specific type of warehouse that it is. There are many classifications of warehouse, such as distribution, manufacturing, storage, etc. They each have very different qualities even though they’re all warehouses

[@evsales]

No thanks

[@TylerCauble]

You’re welcome

[@butchgreene]

Man...why does any "Real Estate for Beginners" involve $340k down payments. That 5 years income for me. Im sick of being poor but every real estate investment path involves 20% down or having enough personal income to buy a second home. Im trying ot learn this stuff to afford a 2nd home.

[@TylerCauble]

I can understand that - that’s exactly how I felt before I got into commercial real estate. Didn’t have any money, but got creative with the deal structure and was able to buy my first few properties with next to nothing out of pocket. I have a few videos in this channel that walk you through that if you search for commercial property with no money

[@brianhoppenrath8379]

You all know it’s not cheap to build, finding renters is a whole other story. I would avoid this guys advice, but I’m old and not stupid.

[@TylerCauble]

Awesome - let’s see your video refuting my points then

[@BlackRifleRack]

It's all risk reward and doing your homework. And yes you need money and land and do a lot yourself. I had to get my hands dirty. It did work out in the long run an to be honest our residential investments were a headache. Everything was on point.

[@dittohead7425]

Years ago, I remember a guy buying buildings in industrial areas for internet porn spaces for individuals to rent for broadcasting. He made dozens of small rooms that people could rent. Before it became big time home based...

[@TylerCauble]

That’s a terrible business model and doesn’t reflect on time-tested and proven business models 🤣

[@dittohead7425]

@TylerCauble at the time, he made a lot of money on buildings that weren't being used. The same buildings now don't look as busy as they used to be.

[@TylerCauble]

@dittohead7425 are you saying industrial buildings are a trend?

[@dittohead7425]

@TylerCauble no, the buildings that I know this guy had businesses operating in don't look as busy. At the time , I ran fiber to them to handle the network and they were packed. Not so much now.

[@TylerCauble]

👍🏼

[@dafonteinc.dbaclovischimne6631]

Well, I guess you guys didn’t know you missed the boat. Commercial real estate is about to go through extremely hard times. Try to sell something else.

[@TylerCauble]

Nah, haven’t missed the boat at all. Cheers!

[@Dbb27]

Warehouses and office space are two different markets.

[@TheDougSpot]

This is in no way the easiest way. You would need at least $1.4 million to do what is described in this video

[@TylerCauble]

You could invest in REITs but that’s not really real estate investing. And depending on your market, you definitely don’t need $1.4m.

[@TheDougSpot]

@@TylerCauble I’m using the math that you laid out in the video. The 10,000sf that the gentleman stated would be the minimum size he would recommend, multiplied by your price per sf that you calculated. So are you saying you have false information in the video?🤔

[@TylerCauble]

If you’re developing, yes that’s likely close to the price depending on where you’re located. If you’re buying older product, you can get it cheaper. I completely understand if $1.4m is too big of a deal for you, there are other opportunities in commercial under $500k (which I’ve done a few videos on) or you can explore residential

[@Man-u-flex]

Not great numbers at all and a good amount of risk complicated zoning.

Huh?

[@jimross2101]

Land for $5/sq ft!!! If buying 1 acre, that's 43,560 x $5 = $217,800. Too much!!!

[@TylerCauble]

It’s all relative - that’s very cheap compared to some neighborhoods surrounding downtown Nashville that are $30+ per sq ft, but that would also be insanely expensive in Nebraska. Just depends on where you are

[@davidlarson7384]

Eh. 43560 square feet at $5 a square foot is $217,800. Not $240,000.

[@TylerCauble]

Yeah, can’t be perfect all the time 😅

[@user-pe7sc2lq5l]

Can't follow someone who can't even get the right video of the sport mentioned. He said pickle ball not squash.

[@MrZoeckler]

Seems like a lot of hot air, where is the data to back up all these words, where are the facts, where are the hard references???

[@TylerCauble]

I recommend reading any of the industrial market reports from the big shops like CBRE, JLL, etc

[@getitright3124]

You said pickleball and showed racquetball. If you want to be real, show real references.

[@TylerCauble]

Pickleball, racquetball, they’re both sports that you can accommodate indoors in one of these units 😂
