 Thank you Dennis!! I really appreciate it. Is there a website that you recommend in the future to kind of stay update to date with the current cap rates? 

Good afternoon,

I'm looking on putting together a buyers list and I'm wondering what ways everyone is using?

Good afternoon Bigger Pockets,

I have a question just started researching information on commercial real estate and my question. Does any know the Cap rate for commercial real estate for Atlanta? Or the average for the state of Georgia? Thanks in advance

Buy-and-hold investors: have you seen better outcomes with seller carrybacks or traditional mortgages? Curious about real-world examples.

@Dennis Bamford awesome. Thank you so much man. I appreciate the honestly. I will look them up now. 

Hello!

I'm analyzing properties and wholesalers are bringing me deals. The challenge I have is it appears to be so much risk tied to it, especially for an out of state investor. Here are some concerns I have:

1. There isn't a "due diligence phase." I can't lock up the property and go through the loan process, inspections, etc. Basically I lock it up and have to buy it.

2. How do I verify this is a legit transaction? These are people with no license, etc. with no fiduciary responsibility to anyone, so how would I know this is actually a legit transaction? Can I choose the closing company that I trust?

3. How do disclosures work? The Sellers typically have to disclose any material facts about the property, but you are flying blind is my understanding?

Obviously I have some bias being a Realtor in my market, but if I'm spending my cash I want to know it is somewhat protected.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello fellow investors,

I’m exploring opportunities in off-market commercial properties, particularly those with loans coming due or in financial distress. While I’m still learning about distressed assets, I am interested in connecting with experienced members who have navigated these investments or partnered on deals.

I’m especially curious about:

• Strategies for sourcing and evaluating loans coming due before maturity

• Insights into distressed commercial properties and how partnerships typically work

• Best practices when considering pre-foreclosure properties and their risks

I’m eager to learn and potentially form partnerships to approach these complex asset classes wisely. Any advice, resources, or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I just started out in wholesaling and have come accross a possible opportunity w/ a motivated seller, a beautiful property, and upside potential. The owner is open to creative ideas and I think there is definitely something there but I'm not experienced enough in this to know how to structure it or if the options that he's put forth, are the best options. If someone wants to take a look and see if we can work something out, I'm open to suggestions!
