Course Description

Investor’s Guide to Commercial Real Estate is designed for residential investors ready to expand into the commercial space. Many assume commercial real estate only means offices, apartments, or storage facilities—but the field is much broader, spanning retail centers, industrial warehouses, mobile home parks, land, hospitality, healthcare, and even business opportunities.

This course demystifies the entire landscape of commercial property. You will learn how to evaluate different asset types, understand buyer and seller motivations, avoid common traps, and use key valuation tools like Net Operating Income (NOI) and Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate). You will also gain practical knowledge of forms, agreements, and due diligence so you can approach deals with the same confidence you bring to residential transactions.

By the end, you will have a clear roadmap to move from residential deals into commercial opportunities that fit your goals and expertise.
