Commercial REI Advice Needed

[Jesse Brooks]

Hi Everyone!

I am an established residential realtor here in Southern Maine. I work as a junior agent on a two-person team, with a lot of direct mentorship from my team lead that is invaluable for residential investment projects. I recently onboarded a client who is looking to do a larger scale commercial deal, ideally NNN retail or industrial, not residential. My team lead and I both have limited experience in non-residential commercial REI, and so I've been binging all the content I can about it. I want to be as proficient as possible, as the topic is so incredibly complex, and so I'm curious if there are any excellent books anyone recommends for a crash course on the intricacies of commercial rei. I'm also curious if there are any online resources anyone recommends for analyzing localized commercial market data.

P.S. If anyone is a commercial investor in southern Maine, let me buy you coffee and pick your brain- DM me.

I describe the bump from residential to commercial as like going from high school to college. For example, My residential leases used to be 17 pages (+/- one new page for each year as a landlord) some of the commercial leases I've seen are 75+ pages....they are both leases but it's apples and oranges...
