Commercial Real Estate Investing: A Special Round Table Discussion
Have you ever wondered how or why investors pay millions of dollars for apartment complexes, shopping centers, and office buildings?
This month, Oregon REIA welcomes Zach Smith, owner of Cetan Funds, for a special discussion on Commercial Real Estate Investing.
Zach will walk us through the fundamentals of commercial investing and help demystify concepts that every real estate investor should understand, possibly including:
- What is a CAP Rate, and why is it so important?
- What do investors mean when they talk about Class A, B, and C properties?
- How are commercial properties valued differently than residential properties?
- What opportunities exist for individual investors to participate in commercial deals?
- How do experienced investors analyze risk, returns, and market conditions?
Whether you're a wholesaler, landlord, flipper, private lender, or simply curious about larger investment opportunities, this discussion will provide valuable insight into a segment of real estate that many investors want to understand but few have the chance to explore in depth.
As always, we'll have plenty of time for networking, deal discussions, questions, and sharing what's working in today's changing market.
Bring your questions, your experiences, and your appetite for learning.
