Make 10x More Money w/ 10x Less Effort
Don't waste your time on single family investing
It sounds crazy, but buying a million-dollar warehouse is night and day easier than purchasing a $40,000 residential property.
The Backstory:
When I first started in Kokomo, Indiana, I was buying $40k houses trying to scrape together $200 a month in cash flow.
I had a glass ceiling in my head and a deep fear of borrowing a million dollars.
It was practically against my religion, coming from a Dave Ramsey household.
Once I switched to light industrial buildings, I discovered why the "big" deals are actually simpler.
1. Value is Driven by Math, Not Neighbors:
In residential, your value is tied to your neighbors.
If 10 houses in the cul-de-sac sell for $200k, that 11th house is also worth $200k
In commercial, value is driven by Net Operating Income (NOI).
If you increase the cash flow, you increase the value. It has nothing to do with what’s happening next door.
2. The Bank Cares More About the Tenant Than You
In residential, you are the risk.
The bank looks at your debt-to-income ratio, and eventually, they’ll stop lending to you because you're "maxed out".
In commercial, the bank looks at the tenant's strength.
They look at the business's profit and loss, their balance sheet, and the lease.
You are just the conduit to the bank earning their interest.
3. Triple Net (NNN) Leases
I’ve never met a residential tenant willing to sign a 5-year lease and pay for the property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
With a Triple Net Lease, the tenant is responsible for those costs.
Because they are business owners, they have a massive incentive to keep the property in great shape for their own employees and customers.
The Mentality Shift
The best part isn't just the money- it’s the relationship.
My tenants are fellow business owners and risk-takers.
We operate with an optimistic, "win-win" mentality rather than a "victim" mentality that you might find with residential tenants.
