[@amakanwana4016]

Great content loaded with good nuggets. Thank you for sharing. Newbie here and I’m really considering CRM. Towards the end of the video, you talked about making an offer on a deal with an LOI, do you mean randomly making offers (after underwriting ) for properties of interest even before inquiring of the sellers if they plan to sell? Secondly, how can one obtain the data for underwriting properties of interest without having the financial information of the subject property?

[@TylerCauble]

Glad it was helpful! You could take either strategy with the LOIs - sending them to properties of interest before talking with the sellers works if you want to take a more shotgun approach, but you won't have as high of a hit rate as you will with in-person discussions. If you don't have the financial information of the property, it won't be possible to truly underwrite it. You could use numbers based on your experience in the industry, like if you know what market rent rates are or how much construction costs, but best to get the financials for a true underwriting process.

What is your advice: I have a 17,000 SQ. Ft, hospital grade building with 40 plus beds, 2 separate wings. 1 wing has rain damage (severe). Should I try to repair before trying to sell or try to sell as is? I need an expert's advice.

[@TylerCauble]

Without looking at the property or knowing your market, I would recommend making those repairs. It would make a perspective buyer feel better about the overall condition of the property to not see any issues like that when they are walking through or inspecting the site, so you’ll likely be able to get a higher return on the investment

[@SethMceleney]

What market is it in?? @cassandra

[@jdjewellpa]

Hello! I am making the transition from Resi to Commercial, and I'm very excited. I have a question for anyone out there has has purchased commercial property specifically a small strip mall. Do you guys pay yourself a salary or are you looking for a set rate of return? To give you a for instance, I'm in the due diligence process of on a small 7 unit C Class strip mall, that needs some work and upgrades but overall in good shape with long term tenants that's cash flowing. After all the expenses, and debt service etc, what should I be realistically looking for income wise? Thank you in advance.

[@TylerCauble]

Hey there - I don't pay myself a "salary," necessarily. We do have asset management fees built in to every investment we make, which helps cover the costs of operating the day to day of managing the asset. My upside typically comes from the cash flow, property management, leasing, or redevelopment of the site. That help?

[@jdjewellpa]

@@TylerCauble Hi Tyler, thanks for responding. No not really. (I know I wasn't too clear before, it was multiple questions wrapped together, excitement got the better of me.) To be more specific to what I was looking for and to more the point is this. Is there a rule of thumb or a quick formula to use for evaluating a commercial deal with tenants. For instance with Apt buildings or multi units some investors after debt service and expenses look for Minimum $200 per door. I'm sure commercial has something similar, follow up question would be, what is a good rate or return for a small 7 unit strip mall? Thank you for you content.

[@TylerCauble]

@@jdjewellpa not a problem at all! I don’t use a back of napkin number like that. I look for at least a 10% net cash on cash return - if I can get that, then it’s worth looking into. The projects I typically acquire have 12%+ net cash on cash returns with an IRR around 18%+ over 5 years. Development is typically higher because of the risk involved. But a stabilized shopping center would be worth looking into based on my initial numbers, especially if there’s some value add potential where you can increase revenues

[@Darkslide820]

I live in a kinda rural area with a ton of vacant commercial buildings and especially old corner gas stations. It's tempting to look into buying one since there's a lot of options, but at the same time if they're vacant for the current owners why would they be occupied after I bought them? Right now office space and even regular storefronts seem like a bad buy, since so much is moving online and to remote work. Is there any sign this could be a good buy after another year or so of price decline, then recover after a bit?

[@TylerCauble]

Sometimes, the owners just don’t care to fill the spaces. I’ll be honest, though - I’m not experienced in rural real estate and avoid it because of the difficult you can have with leasing. Any type of real estate can be a good buy depending on many different factors - my portfolio is almost exclusively retail and office and we did just fine through Covid

[@40EntrepreneurDrive]

I'm looking to purchase my first commercial building for personal use. Or as you put it on her occupied use. Other than that, I have no clue about commercial property Investments but I did have enough sense to Google some local attorneys to see what I would need to prepare for a commercial purchase. Ironically, the advice that I was given over the phone was to depend on the advice of the commercial broker as they would know more about the specifics. I thought it would be wise and prudent to get legal advice from a lawyer that specializes in business properties versus depending only on what my realtor says. My biggest fear is getting into a building that is not compliant with the city codes or regulations or needing to invest in some type of necessary upgrade before I am able to use it commercially. I've tapped into my cities government websites to see if I could educate myself beforehand, but there's way too much information there to sift out what is pertinent to my needs. This video helped me clarify quite a bit so that I can know what to look for. Thank you so much.

[@TylerCauble]

Knowledgeable commercial real estate brokers could hold your hand throughout the entire process - after all, that's what they're there for. However, there are many that are good at sourcing deals and not good at the "under contract" portion of the process. A solid real estate attorney can help immensely here, as well, and they can run a zoning check to make sure that your use is compliant with the city. After that, I would have a contractor / inspector walk the building to check if you're codes compliant. The inspector is an unbiased third-party that will be simply providing you a report of what is going on with the building while the contractor will be performing the work and will have to do all of it to code so as to turnover the space to you in occupancy-ready condition. I have a due diligence checklist available for download on my website when you sign up for my newsletter. It covers just about everything you need to do while under contract as far as inspections go - you can find that (and the article I wrote on the whole process) here: www.tylercauble.com/blog/commercia-real-estate-due-diligence

I have a question. How do you professionally decline working with a real estate broker? I have a co-worker / Associate who does Real Estate work but he's not a commercial real estate expert.(He says he does both 🤔🙄) So far we've talked on the phone a couple of times about a property I'm interested in. But I'm not 100% confident in moving forward with him. No contracts have been signed. But I feel some type of obligation( we've been co-worker for years). What's the best, professional way to walk away from this type of relationship? Since he knows me he might "cut me a deal" so to speak, but I'd much rather work with a company who specializes in what I need even if I have to end up paying more. But not too much more hopefully!

[@TylerCauble]

Great question - it's definitely one you want to handle carefully. There's nothing wrong with working with a broker that specializes specifically in your niche - in fact, I turn clients away all the time that don't fit exactly what we do since I know our team just isn't designed for that type of business. Of course, I'm always sure to point them in the right direction. If there's nothing signed, you have no responsibility to him legally. That said, you certainly want to maintain a relationship with him. It wouldn't be too much to ask your new broker to pay your coworker a finder's fee or a referral fee. It's not much and it could help your coworker accept the fact that he won't be working on the deal. Is this property one that he brought to you or one that you brought to him? If he brought it to you, professional courtesy would be to continue working with him on it. If that's the case, you could still ensure that you're protected by having a commercial real estate attorney handle the negotiations and contracts. As far as "cut me a deal" goes - his fees get paid by the landlord / seller, so you wouldn't be responsible for his costs unless his intent with that comment is to give you a portion of that commission back (which would likely put him in violation of his real estate license, depending on the local rules and regs). Does that help?
