On today’s show: how he went from selling Cutco Knives door-to-door, to doing his first land deal with none of his own money, to using syndication to buy, renovate, rent, and refinance (BRRR) millions of dollars of commercial real estate in one of the hottest markets in the country.
Tyler also talks about:
- Exactly how he’d get started in commercial real estate investing today
- The differences between residential and commercial real estate deals
- How to get brokers to take you seriously
- What he learned about sales at Cutco (he broke a sales record!)
- Transforming an abandoned car wash into a food hall with “ghost kitchens”
- Why he’s all-in on office space despite remote work
- The opportunity in turning stale office buildings into coworking spaces
- The impact of higher interest rates
- What type of cash-on-cash returns to expect in commercial investing
- How much you need for a down payment
- Does go off market to find deals? (spoiler: yes)
- Why he’s cash-heavy in 2024
