The headlines say “commercial real estate is cooling”—but the data tells a different story. According to Deloitte’s 2026 Outlook, most investors still expect to increase their CRE exposure over the next 12–18 months. Why? Because in uncertain times, hard assets win.
While lending markets tighten and capital availability rises to the top of investors’ concern lists, some sectors are quietly outperforming expectations. Flex space, logistics, and data centers are gaining traction, while even the much-maligned office and retail categories are showing early signs of recovery. The “flight to quality” is real—but it’s not just about trophy assets anymore; it’s about smart underwriting, adaptive reuse, and mixed-use evolution.
In this week’s breakdown, we’ll unpack:
Why capital constraints might actually create your next best opportunity
How shifting rate expectations could reignite development pipelines
The surprising resilience of retail—and how failing malls might become the next great redevelopment play
If you’re preparing for 2026, now’s the time to think beyond today’s rates and position for the rebound.

332. The Real Reason You're Not Finding Good CRE Deals
Every deal you look at feels overpriced, under contract, or just plain impossible. Sound familiar?
If you’re a new (or even experienced) commercial real estate investor who’s constantly striking out on LoopNet or waiting on brokers to call you back — this video will change how you approach deal flow forever.
In this episode, I break down why good CRE deals do exist — you’re just not seeing them… yet. And more importantly, I’ll walk you through a repeatable framework for finding deals before anyone else even knows they exist.
You’ll learn:
• Why passively waiting on listings is killing your deal flow
• How to build real relationships with brokers (so you get the first call)
• The system top investors use to find off-market opportunities
• My simple DEAL Framework for building consistent, scalable deal flow
Plus, I’ll share the story of Jess Reed, a door-to-door salesman turned commercial investor with over $50M in transactions, who built his portfolio by mastering this exact approach. If you’re serious about growing your portfolio, achieving time freedom, and creating wealth through commercial real estate — this is the one skill you need to master first.
