Henry provides a TON of value walking us how to effectively find commercial real estate deals.

In this inspiring interview, we have Henry as our guest, a young powerhouse in the real estate world. Over the past 5 years, he's been part of $450 million in real estate transactions, owns multiple investment properties, and sells over $100 million a year personally. However, his journey wasn't always glamorous, battling depression since the age of 9 and surviving two suicide attempts by 14. After quitting college, he stumbled into real estate, faced financial setbacks, and rebuilt his team four times before finding success.

Today, Henry focuses entirely on the commercial division of his team, aiming to achieve $1 billion in annual sales. He attributes his success to three key principles: an unwavering commitment to self-improvement, emphasizing relationship building ("your network is your net worth"), and maintaining a mindset of gratitude.

I hope you enjoy this interview, get tons of value from it, and can take actionable steps towards your goals!

In this conversation, Jesse, Graham, and Colin discuss Colin's transition from residential to commercial real estate. Colin shares his background in real estate, his experience in residential sales, and his decision to focus on commercial real estate. He also talks about his current portfolio, including residential properties and a 23-unit motel conversion. The conversation covers topics such as cold calling, CRM usage, team building, financing, and the process of converting a motel into long-term apartments. Collin Boyer shares his experience in acquiring a commercial property and the potential value it can generate. He discusses the importance of finding tenants before closing on a deal to ensure cash flow from day one. Collin projects that the property, which was purchased for $900,000, could be worth around $2.7 million once fully leased. He contemplates whether to sell, refinance, or hold onto the property for long-term cash flow. Collin also emphasizes the value of taking action and learning along the way, as well as the benefits of building a local community and personal brand through social media.

Takeaways

• Colin started in a construction family but realized he was more interested in selling real estate than building it.
• He began investing in residential properties and decided to supplement his investment income by becoming a residential broker.
• Colin transitioned from residential to commercial real estate after learning about the potential for higher returns and time freedom.
• He uses cold calling and a CRM to prospect for commercial deals, and he emphasizes the importance of follow-up.
• Colin is in the process of converting a motel into long-term apartments, taking advantage of a lack of housing in the area.
• He plans to hire a property management company to handle the day-to-day operations of the property.

• Commercial real estate is based on income and can generate significant value.
• Consider the options of selling, refinancing, or holding onto a property for long-term cash flow.
