We've Been Working On This For Months

We Bought a 12% Cap with an $80K Seller Credit

Jesse is back from his honeymoon in St. Lucia and we're catching up on everything that happened while he was gone, including a new deal that went under contract. In this episode, we break down our two latest acquisitions: a 12,000 SF warehouse in High Point we picked up for $580K with an $80K seller credit (essentially buying an existing 12 cap), and a 3-tenant automotive building in Durham with a potential $300K spread. We also talk through why we're pivoting from a pure buy-and-hold strategy to flipping a couple of these deals to build our track record and create a capital cushion. Plus, the story of the 800 SF former hot dog stand in Durham we just put under contract, and a hard lesson on seller credits vs. price reductions that almost blew up our financing. If you're negotiating credits with a seller, do not skip that part. We also share an update on our 8-week cohort wrapping up soon. Round two kicks off in September. Link below if you want in. What we cover: * Buying a vacant 12K SF warehouse with 15% down at 6.76% * Seller credit vs. price reduction: why the difference matters to your lender * Re-signing tenants at market rents during due diligence * Why we're flipping instead of holding these two deals * Deal #5: the hot dog stand We are opening applications for Cohort 2 of The CRE Blueprint Program. It's 8 weeks, live with us, and we give you everything we use to buy commercial real estate: our underwriting model, cold call script, mailer, LOI template, and due diligence checklist. We've bought 11 buildings since beginning our journey with almost none of our own money, and we'll show you exactly how we did it. Spots are limited.
