Key Takeaways:

Commercial real estate brokers are on the front lines of the industry and know market conditions well since they are directly dealing with transactions.

While transaction volumes have significantly declined, there are still good investment opportunities available for those willing to get creative and work hard.

Sale leasebacks can provide liquidity to cash-strapped businesses and are a way for investors to secure properties with negotiated lease terms already in place. This reduces risk compared to other deal types.

When markets are downturns, it's a good time to focus on growing your business and positioning yourself for future success once conditions improve.
