Google, YouTube, you can build a foundation just from free internet learning.
What asset class? Leasing? investment sales? specify your niche as narrowly as possible.
Thanks for your reply!
I have been watching lots of YouTube videos, listening to podcasts, and I'm reading David Greene's "Sold" (which I know is geared towards residential agents, but I think the key points are transferable), so I'm glad to know I am on the right track on that front.
In terms of the asset class, both the brokerage itself and the agent I'm working with kind of do it all from what I can tell. Some agents do mostly tenant rep stuff, others do landlord rep, investment sales, etc. Cool for me to be able to get a taste of everything, however it also means the volume of information I am trying to absorb is larger.
Once you know the vocabulary, pick one asset class drilled down to a small sub market. Become the expert per Henry, maybe you don't have to do the ugliest properties, but just know everything on a small asset niche. Report back.

Best way is going to differ for different investors. For me, a combination of broker referred deals and off market direct to seller calling works best. We have a system and team to do phone calls, text, email, flyers, etc.

Poppycock! When I get sick, I go to the doctor. When I have a cavity, I go to the dentist. Beyond that, I wouldn't take real estate advice from either. Florida suburbs are an amazing place to own real estate. There's a reason droves of people are leaving NY for FL.
when you want to directly invest in commercial real estate, who do you go to?

thought you guys specialize in residential?

Quote from @John McKee:
@Ronald Rohde How many tenants do you have sharing the yard or is it just one? What length are the leases and are they all triple net? Is there room for a small building for those tenants that want coverage or is it worth the cost. Love to hear more
Which yard? the 5.5 acres has about 10 tenants, ranging from fleet 10-20 trucks, some 5s, rest is 1-2 single owners.
Truck parking is on gross lease. Yep we already have a 6k sq ft building with 16' roll up for a truck service bay.

Evict. Typically faster for non renewal than non payment, leave that claim out

So you guys only have one location. How many leads do you have in TX? From what I understand, this is just an online SEO marketing play to get referrals.
