Introduction

Welcome to Commercial Real Estate Investing For Dummies! We both love commercial real estate and are thrilled to be able to share our passion with you. In this book’s chapters, we provide you guidance by showing you our experiences and the combined experience of thousands of our Mentorship students who have invested with us across the country since 1995.

Investing in commercial real estate allows you to:

bullet Make much larger amounts of money while putting in almost the same amount of work that smaller deals, such as single-family houses, require.

bullet Establish multiple streams of income that are generated by properties that almost run themselves. In fact, you discover how to be in command of everything right from your home office.

bullet Retire in five years or less. Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Well, it really isn’t!

The downside of investing in commercial real estate is that it does take some time to get up to speed. Plan on getting a good education before you jump into your first deal. Oh, and if you’re frightened by the prospect of making hundreds of thousands of dollars from just one deal, investing in commercial real estate is probably not the right path for you.
