What does it take to hit a real estate home run?

by Spencer Cullor on April 12, 2018

It’s Spring Baseball time …

The goal of any transaction in commercial real estate is to hit a “home run” in your investments. What does it take to knock it out of the park?

In our experience it takes:

  1. Broker and property owner connections to find the very best “off-market” deals
  2. Inside information about the seller’s motivations
  3. The ability to do quick analysis without having all the facts
  4. The ability to do thorough market analysis
  5. Cheap financing
  6. Discounts on capital improvements so you can get the biggest bang for your buck

Throughout our career, we have done everything we can to tip the game in our favor.

We are patient and wait for just the right deal (pitch) to come across our plate.  Like a player on second base tipping off the batter as to what pitch is coming, we’ve utilized our years of broker connections and inside information about seller’s motive(s) to negotiate the best deals.

We utilize our years of experience to recreate complex financials without having “perfect” information that you might find in brokers package.  We do this because once it hits the market, your chance for a great deal is probably already gone.

We use our proprietary processes to do quick and accurate market analysis to support our assumptions.  Once we are ready to swing, we use our credibility and excellent track record to get access to cheap financing.

Once closed, having access to the biggest discounts on capital improvements can make your investment returns soar.

Combining these factors allow us to have a well above average batting percentage and hit that home run we’re all cheering for with our teams this Summer.

Who doesn’t want to hit a home run?
