Send us a textEver wondered what's behind those small metal industrial buildings you pass on the outskirts of town? They might just be the commercial real estate sector's best-kept investment secret. Austin Edelmon, with 20 years of experience specializing in small bay industrial complexes, pulls back the curtain on this lucrative niche that's outperforming traditional commercial investments.While retail, multifamily, and office sectors continue to navigate post-pandemic challenges, small bay industrial spaces are delivering impressive returns that have caught the attention of sophisticated investors nationwide. Austin explains why these metal construction facilities with multiple small units are especially attractive: "These parks offer better returns in some instances and even more upside on rental rates and other key factors," making them ideal for yield-seeking investors looking to diversify their portfolios.The appeal extends beyond just returns. Austin walks us through why development in this sector is more accessible than other commercial projects - from simpler metal construction methods to fewer zoning restrictions when building in county areas. We learn how a portfolio of several 50,000-75,000 square foot complexes can create substantial value, and how even simple cosmetic improvements like exterior paint can significantly boost rental rates and property performance.Whether you're a seasoned commercial investor or curious about expanding your real estate horizons, Austin's insights provide a roadmap to understanding this growing asset class. His co-authored book "Flex Space Domination" and the resources at FlexParksUSA.com offer even deeper dives into this investment strategy that's helping clients nationwide capitalize on the small bay industrial boom.

Send us a textDecluttering isn't just about tidying up—it's about creating space for peace in a chaotic world. Hitting 1 million downloads calls for celebrating with a powerful guest, and Connie Graf delivers with compassion and wisdom that will transform how you approach your environment.Connie, founder of "From Chaos to Peace," reveals why most of us struggle to implement organizational systems despite knowing what to do. "The information is not necessarily the problem," she explains. "The problem is why aren't we doing what we often know we need to do?" This question unlocks a fascinating exploration of procrastination, fear, and the hidden barriers to creating supportive environments.Drawing from her Swiss background and years helping entrepreneurs, Connie shares her framework of four personality types—fire, earth, air, and water—each with unique organizational challenges. Fire types start enthusiastically but struggle to follow through. Earth types get trapped in endless planning. Air types overthink everything. Water types become emotionally overwhelmed by their possessions. Understanding your type provides targeted strategies that actually work.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn when discussing why change feels so threatening. "I think I will not recognize myself if I change and I'm afraid of that," one client confessed. This fear keeps many stuck in chaos despite craving peace. Connie's gentle advice? "A few minutes a day keeps the chaos away." Small, consistent actions build momentum without triggering resistance.We also explore the cultural pressures on women to "do it all" without seeking help, and how setting boundaries—though initially uncomfortable—creates the foundation for genuine peace. As Connie wisely notes, "We can only create more peace in the world if we have peace within us and within our families."Ready to transform your environment from chaotic to peaceful?

Send us a textEver wondered how top real estate investors acquire valuable properties without emptying their bank accounts or battling for traditional financing? Chris Prefontaine, founder and chairman of Smart Real Estate Coach, pulls back the curtain on Subject-To investing - a powerful strategy that's transforming how savvy investors build wealth across North America.Subject-To investing allows you to purchase properties "subject to" the existing mortgage, taking title while the original loan stays in the seller's name. This approach creates three distinct profit centers what Prefontaine has trademarked as the "Three Paydays" system: upfront deposits from tenant-buyers, monthly cash flow from the spread between what you pay and what you collect, and substantial profits at sale combining property markup with principal pay-down. The numbers are compelling - Prefontaine reveals that properly structured deals on properties worth $200,000+ can consistently generate six-figure profits.Despite its power, many newcomers hesitate due to concerns about due-on-sale clauses. Prefontaine dismantles this fear with both extensive experience (neither he nor his students have encountered this issue in thousands of transactions) and legal precedent, sharing how specialized attorneys have successfully defended these deals even in rare challenges. The key lies in proper documentation and working with legal professionals who understand the intricacies of these transactions.Beyond the mechanics, Prefontaine shares how his coaching organization has achieved remarkable success, increasing their community's deal-making metrics from 0.25 deals per student to 1.1 deals per student in 2024 - an accomplishment considered "unheard of" in the industry. His approach combines technical expertise with unwavering confidence, his personal "word of wisdom" that he believes drives success in every area of business and life.Ready to explore how Subject-To investing might transform your real estate portfolio?

Send us a textCurious about commercial real estate but unsure where to start? In this enlightening conversation, commercial lending expert Kamyar demystifies the process of acquiring commercial properties and reveals why they often represent superior investments to residential real estate.The financial advantages of commercial property ownership become immediately clear as Kamyar explains the hands-off nature of management - "You're literally just getting rent every month" while tenants handle most maintenance responsibilities. This stark contrast to the constant demands of residential properties makes commercial real estate particularly attractive for investors seeking passive income streams.Before taking the commercial plunge, prospective investors should perform crucial preparation steps. Reviewing credit reports, analyzing tax returns, and understanding different qualifying ratios for owner-occupied versus investment properties form the foundation of successful commercial investing. The conversation explores various financing options, from 25-year fixed SBA loans to conventional structures amortized over decades.Tax strategies emerge as a compelling reason to consider commercial investments. Cost segregation allows accelerated depreciation, while opportunity zones offer potential elimination of capital gains taxes after ten years of ownership. "I have clients that buy one or two buildings a year just to take advantage of cost segregation," Kamyar reveals, demonstrating how savvy investors leverage these advantages to rapidly expand their portfolios.The discussion extends beyond immediate benefits to long-term legacy planning. Establishing trusts that ensure properties remain family assets across generations creates true multigenerational wealth rather than temporary prosperity. First-time investors receive practical guidance: focus locally, determine your investment goals, and leverage free resources like LoopNet to identify properties.Ready to transform your financial future through commercial real estate?
