I am doing informational videos on investing in CRE, please see link
Hey Everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I wanted to take the opportunity to educate individuals on the commercial real estate industry. My background is in acquisitions and underwriting of commercial real estate. I currently handle acquisitions in the hotel space, but have significant experience in multifamily as well. I know with Covid now many of you are home and looking to learn as much as you can. So I am posting informational videos that are free for everyone. I'll try to post a couple a week. Below is my first video. I'll be going over all aspects of investing in CRE including analyzing deals and financing. Please subscribe to my Youtube. I also post these videos on Instagram under Allurehotelgroup.

Feel like there's good opportunity there if you can find at the right basis.", "replies": [{"id": "g6i055m", "text": "Lucas,\n\n  Thanks for your comment. This strategy is actually a very profitable one. Theres many hospitality assets that are very old and not performing well in markets where rental occupancy is in the 90s. There definately room for this type of value add by converting rooms to essentially studio apartments. You're right, it's all about the cost basis per room for completing the conversion. I will actually make a video on this as well.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g6kxurx", "text": "If you are going to be involved in CRE you need to understand what cap rates are.  They are a valuation metric not a return metric.  A 10 cap does not mean a higher return than a 5% cap.  All it means is that a 10% cap rate means investors have paid $10 for NOI but in a 5% cap rate market they have paid $20.  You cannot determine which market has a higher return based on cap rates.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
