In this episode of the Commercial Real Estate Blueprint Podcast, Graham Storey and Jesse Durham share a real-life update on what’s been happening behind the scenes in their commercial real estate business.

After taking a few weeks off following the birth of his fourth child, Graham is back on the mic to talk about life, family, and the reality of doing deals in commercial real estate.

Over the past few weeks, multiple deals have been delayed due to city violations, environmental issues, lender requirements, and title problems—reminding them of a simple truth: commercial real estate deals almost never go according to plan.

They also break down some key lessons from their recent acquisitions and investing strategy, including:

• Why the best commercial real estate deals often take months or years to come together

• How relationships with portfolio owners have helped them buy most of their buildings

• Why seller financing has been a huge advantage in growing their portfolio

• The importance of making offers quickly and staying persistent

• How stacking properties over time creates long-term wealth and cash flow

Graham and Jesse also talk about their goal of reaching $10,000/month in cash flow, hiring their first executive assistant, and what it really looks like balancing entrepreneurship, investing, and family life.

If you’re trying to buy your first commercial real estate deal or grow a portfolio, this episode gives you a real behind-the-scenes look at what the journey actually looks like.
