Multi use commercial building with existing tenants. Have owned for 25+ years and I’m looking for an exit. Main tenant tried to buy 5 years ago then destroyed the deal at the finish line. He has a renewal coming up for three years and has also asked for an additional three year option on top of that. I could (mostly) stomach a few more years - not six. Rent is undervalued so an investor would be unlikely to buy with him locked in for so long. Him buying makes the most sense. In 6 years the building will generate almost 1/2 the purchase price (2mil). Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey friends! I am a senior in college right now and I plan to get into land development/construction in commercial real estate when I graduate. I'm planning on doing an internship after I graduate because I don't have any experience in the industry. Does anyone have any tips for getting into the industry? Is working in leasing/property management a good idea as well?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for real estate lead generation strategies that have worked well for you. What methods or tools have you used to attract qualified buyers and sellers in the real estate market?
Any Midwest industrial investors interested in connecting? Team has some listings and pre market listings for anyone who’s looking
When buying real estate and the underlying business how do you allocate the purchase of each.
So say the real estate is 1 contract for 2m I am pretty sure no allocation needs to be agreed upon on a real estate transaction that only includes the building, land and land improvements? This is up to each party to decided correct?
The other contract is for the business/assets for 1m. My understanding is this needs to be agreed upon by both the seller and the buyer as this is reported on both tax returns and needs to match?
If business side does need allocation I’m not sure if it’s more wise to try and figure this out before signing contract or put in contract this will be figured out prior to closing as this might take a bit to figure out?

I have 22,000 sqft. parcel of land in a great commercial area, in front of a new concert arena. I think the space would be great for a Starbucks. How much could I get for that in a land lease situation?
Saw this the other day. It was a Chase Bank before. Seems like a very lucrative play.

Anything I am missing?
I’m new to CRE so be friendly if you can.
Currently planning to build roughly 40K sq ft of light warehouse space near Austin, Texas. Would break ground in 2 years.
I’m a big fan of beautiful landscaping and would love to invest in making the 5 acres as beautiful as possible with the idea that after 5-10 years it will be all the more attractive as everything grows and flourishes. Total investment in plants and irrigation would probably be $100K.
Is this silly? Will there be any ROI? Easier to attract tenants? I’m assuming yes but let me know if I’m wrong.
What's the best way to procure a national tenant for a potential property to be purchased? Use the feasibility contingency to pre-lease?
In terms of when does broker get paid if there is seller financing? What is the usual agreement?
What's the biggest ROI you've achieved from subscribing to costar?
I work at a very boutique and new multi family/commercial real estate company in a medium sized town. I originally started out in construction management but it wasn’t for me. They then said they’d move me to commercial leasing. Basically in charge of finding tenants for their spaces. The problem is I have zero experience in commercial real estate leasing and neither do they. They have no one there to mentor me or teach me how to be successful. They basically just expect me to figure it out. I’m currently on salary but in 2 months that will be cut in half and they expect me to supplement that cut with signing tenants and getting commission.
I have amazing flexibility and the company is growing fast as in lots of potential space in the pipeline but doesn’t currently have any space built out. and I could potentially —far in the future grow into a partner if everything worked out. Should I stay and just hope it works out or should I leave and get experience somewhere else that will actually train me? One thing to point out is I’m not even sure if this is what I want to do for a career so that’s also making the decision tough. Or does anyone have any other advice? Thanks!
I was just wondering what the difference was, and if there is a difference in culture and hours.

Interested to hear some stories, unique situations, or just run of the mill repositioning.
I’m thinking of like older buildings with infrastructure does not support the needs of today. Like a factory that was set up with machinery from 30 years ago or a data center that was built 20 years with low space/power/cooling requirements for today’s computer needs.
Seems like the highest and best use of these places are many times just tearing them down.
Hello, I am looking for advice on how to legally evict a tenant. I am not a real estate agent and I don't want anyone to get in trouble.
My boss owns many properties where businesses rent commercial office space. We have a tenant who has been behind on rent all year, and the last three checks they wrote to us bounced. We have had conversation after conversation with them about this and they continue to say they are going to pay and then they don't. Right now they are delinquent $40,260 and in two days they will be delinquent by more than $53,000.
My boss has a big heart and has been very patient with them but every time they fail to pay rent we have to cover it because our buildings are not paid off and we have mortgages and taxes to pay.
After their check bounced again last week we decided that this was the last straw. They have to go. They owe upwards of $50K and they don't even have $13K in their bank account and we've been doing this with them for a year.
They're on a month to month lease. How many days do we have to give them to vacate? Do we need to provide them with a formal eviction notice? What CAN'T we do? We are in Missouri, if that matters.
Imagine being the stereotypical ole real estate broker in NYC. You get a call one day on a 9 figure asset your client owns, get to the point where you need to vet the prospective buyer only to find out it’s a subsidiary owned by Vladimir Putin. What’s your reaction? Continue with the sale?
Would love to get a book or two about commercial real estate. Has anyone read one they’d recommend to a beginner?
Currently finished undergrad and doing a Masters in Real Estate and been thinking about going into CRE Brokerage, does anyone have some advice on which asset class and market (for US) would be the best place to start in and maybe some info on what the pay structure I can expect to be progressively? I’ve been thinking industrial and somewhere in the Southeast
I have basic knowledge so far in financial modeling, CoStar and Argus. Also want to add I have no previous experience in CRE. If there’s something I can learn to be better prepared for brokerage let me know!
Thanks

Hey everyone,
I’m diving into multi-family real estate in Los Angeles and California. The market is primed for change—our housing bubble is about to invert. Investors who bought in the last five years may need to offload properties, and that creates big opportunities for those of us ready to hustle. I used to help my father and uncle's manage their properties and businesses. Now I'm looking to start up on my own and am looking for groups and business contacts.
I grew up in a working-class family where you start young, and I’ve worked for family businesses and a few investors in property management and repairs. I know my way around managing and maintaining units, especially when it comes to organizing repairs, upgrades, and tenant relationships. While I’ll consider 6-10 unit properties, I’m particularly focused on 20–300 unit buildings where I can put my management skills to work.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
My funds are limited after spending the COVID years helping family, but I’ve got the drive and expertise to find and manage properties that perform. I’m looking for:
The plan is straightforward: target quick 5–10 year flips to build capital while securing 20–50 year assets that stand the test of time. Los Angeles may scare off some investors, but that just leaves more opportunities for those of us who understand the market and can work with motivated sellers.
If you’re ready to seize this moment and want to partner with someone who knows the field and is ready to work, let’s connect and get started.
