[ AJO Podcast ] I'm Buying Commercial Real Estate (Here's Why)

 

 

Commercial real estate is experiencing a once-in-a-generation buying opportunity RIGHT NOW. While everyone sits on the sidelines worried about interest rates, savvy investors are building massive wealth by taking advantage of market conditions that won't last forever.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

  • Why commercial real estate has been in recession for 3 years (and why that's GOOD for buyers)
  • How cap rates work and why understanding them is the key to wealth building
  • The shocking truth: properties are selling 30-35% below asking price
  • Why 2025 is THE BOTTOM of the commercial real estate cycle
  • How to buy properties with ZERO money down using seller financing
  • The $2 trillion in dry powder waiting to flood the market (and why you need to act first)

While big institutional investors can't deploy capital efficiently in smaller markets, individual investors have the advantage. Owners are desperate to sell, banks aren't lending, and seller financing deals are available everywhere. Don't wait for "perfect" market conditions - wealth is made when others are sitting on the sidelines.

Why Most Businesses Fail (And How I Designed Mine To Survive)
This time of year has a way of stripping away noise.

With that, I wanted to share some of my personal reflections with you. If you’ve ever wondered how real businesses cross nine figures without ...
