@Paul Thompson Here is my first deal: https://www.crexi.com/properties/1751352/california-multiple-locations-closely-grouped-19-doors-8-buildings?recommId=569d35ac9141f3cf56144d862097034c
Let’s have a real check-in
Before we talk about deals, strategies, or the next big move… I want to pause and ask something that actually matters 👇 What do you need right now to move forward? Not what you think you should need.Not what sounds impressive.Not what you’d say if you were trying to look further along than you feel. I mean honestly — where are you stuck? Because here’s the thing most people won’t say out loud: Commercial real estate isn’t hard because people are lazy. It’s hard because people don’t always know what lever to pull next. Some of you need: • Clarity on what a good deal actually looks like • Confidence to speak up and ask better questions • A stronger grasp of numbers and deal logic • More real conversations, not more theory • Permission to slow down and learn instead of rushing And some of you are farther along than you realize — you just don’t trust it yet. Being in this community doesn’t mean you have to have it all figured out. It means you’re willing to be honest about where you are. That honesty is where momentum starts. So I’ll ask again — and this time, answer it for you, not for anyone else: 👇 What’s the ONE thing you need most right now to take your next step? Drop it in the comments. Someone else here is probably thinking the same thing — and this is how we move forward together. You don’t need to be perfect.You just need to be real. That’s how progress actually begins.

mastering the numbers and underwriting. crafting good deals.
Ask better questions NOW
One of the biggest mistakes I see newbies make is thinking: 👉 “I need to chase every deal.” You don’t. In commercial real estate, your edge comes from asking better questions, faster. At a high level, every deal gets filtered by: 1️⃣ Is the seller motivated or flexible? 2️⃣ Can this property cash flow (now or with a clear path)? 3️⃣ Is there equity through price or terms? If the answer is no across the board — it’s not a failure. It’s a filter working exactly as it should. The pros don’t win because they chase more. They win because they eliminate faster. That’s how momentum is built without burnout. Want my guide on what you need to know BEFORE you chase the deal? Drop Chase in the comments and I’ll send it over.

Chase
I want to help you AVOID this...
Most people start in real estate the same way I did… Buy a rental.Flip a house.Stack a few small wins and think, “If I can just do more of these, I’ll be free.” But here’s the truth: Single-family can be the trap that keeps you busy — not free. I used to spend my days driving from property to property, juggling tenants, chasing contractors, and “managing” my way into burnout. I was working harder than ever… but not really moving forward. Then I realized — I didn’t need to buy 50 houses. I could buy 50 doors in one deal. Same effort.10x the results.Real leverage. That’s what we’re unlocking inside the 3-Day Commercial Breakthrough Challenge on Nov 17–19. I’m going to show you exactly how to step off the single-family hamster wheel and into commercial deals that actually scale. 💡 Real people are doing this every day: It’s your turn to break through. 🎟️ Register free HERE Stop working harder. Stop wasting time. Start scaling smarter. 🚀

@Paul Thompson Will you be holding another 3-day challenge anytime soon? My company is sending me out of the country next week and I will not be back until the 25th. Honestly, I like my job, (at least the travel portion!), but this is the MAIN reason I am working to be successful - so I can have the freedom and the finances to travel on my time. Not whining, in fact, I'm grateful (right now) to be employed. I'm just envisioning my new reality!!

@Paul Thompson I'll be on the one after Thanksgiving! Got the snowball moving, and building the momentum to make it grow! Next stop - SUCCESS!!
It's a little scary out there but you are here.
Let’s be real — the U.S. dollar isn’t buying what it used to. Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. Rent? Forget about it. Everywhere you look, it’s getting harder to stay ahead. And here’s the hard truth: ❌ No politician is coming to fix it. ❌ No employer is coming to rescue you. ❌ No “safe job” is going to save your financial future. The system wasn’t built for you to win — it was built to keep you comfortable enough not to leave. But here’s the good news. You don’t have to play that game anymore. Leverage is the great equalizer. It’s how everyday people build real power, real cash flow, and real freedom. You can use: 🏦 Capital — other people’s money to fund deals. 🤝 Relationships — your network to open doors that money can’t. 📈 Knowledge — skills that compound faster than any savings account ever will. And if you’re here in this community, it’s because you already know — commercial real estate is your exit strategy. We’re not just chasing checks.We’re building leverage.We’re buying time.We’re creating independence from a system that’s designed to keep you broke and busy. So as the year closes out, ask yourself this:👉 What are you doing right now to take control of your future? Because it’s not going to get easier out there… and that’s exactly why you have to move now. No one’s coming to save you. But the roadmap? It’s already in your hands. Are you done waiting — and ready to start owning your leverage? Drop ME in the comments if you’re ready to take action now.
