Very very new to real estate.

I am in the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area heavy in retail, multi-family, industrial, land and hospitality. Please help I am eager to learn .

@Noah Thomas Welcome, Noah 👋 I like that you're focused on understanding the fundamentals instead of chasing shortcuts. That mindset usually pays off over time. One thing I'd suggest is to learn from real deals as much as books. Breaking down actual transactions in your market can teach you things that are hard to pick up from theory alone. I'm wondering, with the listings you already have access to, have you started underwriting any of them yourself, or are you focusing on learning deal structure first?
Section 8 Apartment Building
Hi all, I walked a 36 unit apartment building that is currently all (section 8) ten units are vacant. A nonprofit owners the property, their Capx rehabbed was 15m, new plumbing, electric, roof, solar hot water system, also in the process of some evictions. Government is paying but some of the tenants are not. I was wondering if there was a wholesale market for this type of property and situation?

@James McNeal Interesting situation, James. The rehab sounds substantial, so my first thought wouldn't be whether there's a wholesale market for it, but whether the vacancies and tenant issues are causing other investors to misprice the opportunity. Sometimes the value isn't in the property itself, it's in solving the operational problems that are keeping buyers away. Have you been able to gauge how motivated the nonprofit is to exit the asset?
Portfolio in TX & FL
I have an off market 31 door portfolio for sale in Pittsburg, Texas and Daytona Beach, Florida. It includes twelve single family homes, ten commercial buildings including a restaurant with eight studios above it, and two development lots totaling twenty two acres. One parcel is twelve acres on Bob Sandlin Lake and the other is ten acres on Hill Avenue. The estimated combined value is ~$12M with strong upside and multiple exit strategies. Would you or a client be interested in this portfolio? I can send the full breakdown, financials, and photos if you want to review. 813-401-0451 Divinexnatalie@gmail.com

@Rex Graham That’s actually a solid sequence Rex A lot of people jump straight into finding deals but overlook credibility and positioning first. Having a professional image, a clear buyers/capital partners list, and defined target areas already puts more structure behind what you’re building. One thing that could make it even stronger is having a simple portfolio or website that explains who you are, what markets you focus on, and your investment approach. It builds trust much faster when people look you up. Do you already have something like that in place yet?
The Most Expensive Mistake in Commercial Real Estate Isn’t the Deal.
It’s assuming the property is the business. A lot of investors focus on: - Purchase price - Cap rate - Financing - Location All important. But I’ve noticed something interesting… Two people can buy similar properties, and end up with completely different outcomes. Why? Because one bought a building. The other built a revenue system around the building. The biggest upside in CRE today isn’t always finding a better deal. Sometimes it’s: - Better tenant experience - Better monetization structure - Better backend systems - Better retention strategy - Better positioning A surprising number of properties leak money quietly because the infrastructure behind them is outdated. Curious how others here think about this: When evaluating a property… How much attention do you give to the systems around the asset, not just the asset itself? Because I’m starting to believe the next level of CRE isn’t just ownership… It’s architecture.
