Ready to make the jump from houses and small rentals into bigger commercial real estate deals?

Join us on January 9, 2027 for a full-day, in-person Commercial Real Estate Intensive at the Reikart House in Amherst, NY, just outside Buffalo.

This event is designed for real estate investors who already understand the basics of investing but want to learn how to pursue larger opportunities in:

Multifamily • Retail • Industrial • Office

Over the course of the day, we’ll walk through the actual process of finding, underwriting, creating value in, and funding commercial real estate acquisitions.

This is not designed to be a day of high-level theory.

Bring your laptop. Bring a deal you’re looking at. Come ready to work.

What We’ll Cover

FIND — Where Bigger Deals Actually Come From

Learn how experienced commercial investors identify opportunities through brokers, direct-to-owner outreach, relationships, market research, and off-market sourcing.

We’ll discuss how to build a commercial real estate buy box, identify markets worth pursuing, and quickly determine which opportunities deserve your attention.

ANALYZE — Know Whether a Deal Makes Sense

Commercial underwriting can seem intimidating until you understand which numbers actually matter.

We’ll break down:

• NOI

• Cap rates

• Rent rolls

• T-12 financial statements

• DSCR

• Cash-on-cash return

• Vacancy

• Expense ratios

• Commercial leases

• Debt service

• Property valuation

The goal isn’t to turn you into an Excel wizard.

It’s to teach you how to quickly answer:

“Is there an opportunity here?”

CREATE VALUE — Find the Upside Other Investors Miss

One of the biggest differences between residential and commercial real estate is the ability to directly influence property value through NOI.

We’ll walk through how investors create value through:

• Increasing rents

• Filling vacancy

• Leasing unused space

• Reducing operating expenses

• Restructuring leases

• Property repositioning

• Operational improvements

For example, increasing sustainable NOI by $100,000 at a 7% cap rate can correspond to roughly $1.43 million in additional property value, all else equal.

Understanding how to identify that upside is one of the most valuable skills a commercial investor can develop.

FUND — How Bigger Deals Actually Get Capitalized

You don’t necessarily need millions of dollars sitting in your bank account to buy a multimillion-dollar property.

You need to understand how to structure the capital.

We’ll cover:

• Commercial bank financing

• Community banks and credit unions

• Seller financing

• Private investors

• Joint ventures

• Preferred equity

• Lines of credit

• Retirement funds

• Equity partners

• Capital stack construction

What You’ll Leave With

By the end of the day, you should have a much clearer framework for:

• Defining your commercial real estate buy box

• Finding bigger opportunities

• Quickly screening potential acquisitions

• Analyzing the financials

• Identifying opportunities to increase NOI and property value

• Understanding commercial debt

• Structuring the equity side of a transaction

• Communicating more effectively with brokers, lenders, owners, and investors

• Creating a real action plan for pursuing your first or next commercial deal

Who Should Attend?

This event is especially relevant if:

You already own rental properties but feel like buying more small properties is becoming a hamster wheel.

You’ve looked at commercial properties on LoopNet or Crexi but weren’t confident enough in your underwriting to move forward.

You understand how to buy a $200,000–$500,000 residential property but don’t yet understand how investors acquire $2 million, $5 million, or $10 million commercial properties.

You want to understand how commercial investors use financing and outside capital to pursue larger acquisitions.

Or you’ve simply been telling yourself:

“Someday I’m going to get into commercial real estate.”

The purpose of this event is to help turn someday into a plan.

Why This Is a Must-Not-Miss Event

Over the last 3.5 years, our team has helped clients acquire more than $100 million in commercial real estate across multifamily, retail, industrial, and office properties.

Those acquisitions have helped create more than $20 million in additional net worth for our clients.

We’re going to spend January 9 breaking down the frameworks and strategies behind those kinds of transactions.

Not from a textbook.

From real-world deals.

If your goal is to eventually own bigger commercial real estate, spending one focused day learning how the entire process fits together can potentially save you months—or years—of trying to figure it out piecemeal.
