In this episode of The Real enTREpreneur™ podcast, I dive into unconventional strategies for entering the commercial real estate market without hefty upfront capital or traditional loans.

Aimed at real estate investors, this episode steers clear of wholesaling houses and small residential properties, which often fail to deliver financial freedom or significant cash flow.

Instead, I advocate for focusing on commercial properties such as small retail centers, industrial warehouses, RV parks, mobile home parks, and multifamily units with at least 32 units.

These properties strike a sweet spot—too large for single-family home investors yet too small for institutional buyers—resulting in less competition and more favorable negotiation terms.

Many of these 32-unit multifamily properties are owned by "mom and pop" landlords who may be open to seller financing, allowing investors to bypass traditional loan requirements and credit checks.

To cover the down payment, I suggest partnering with investors who are interested in real estate but prefer not to manage properties themselves, facilitating shared ownership and quicker scaling of investments.

I stress the importance of self-education, resourcefulness, and building a network of potential partners. I also promote my One Deal Away Bootcamp for those seeking hands-on support in finding, negotiating, and closing deals.
