Commercial real estate rewards the investor who can read a deal, structure the financing, and manage risk. Practical Principles of Commercial Real Estate Investment is a step-by-step guide to evaluating, buying, and operating income-producing property.
Inside you will learn how to: • Understand core property types (office, retail, industrial, mixed-use) and how income is created through different lease structures (gross, NNN, percentage). • Research markets, pick locations, and test demand before you commit. • Underwrite deals using NOI, cap rates, cash flow, and sensitivity checks. • Compare financing options, build lender-ready numbers, and avoid common traps. • Run due diligence, manage tenants, protect your downside, and improve operations. • Scale a portfolio and choose exits when the timing is right.
Written in plain English and built around tasks, frameworks, and examples you can apply immediately, this book gives you a repeatable process for assessing opportunities and making confident investment decisions.
