In 25 years of listing and representing buyers and sellers in the commercial real estate trenches, I’ve seen it all. I’ve watched multi-million dollar deals completely vanish at the closing table because a property’s appraised value came in low. I’ve had investors tie up assets for weeks, only for the deal to collapse because of a sudden lack of funds or a loan falling through at the eleventh hour.

Worse yet, it’s a dog-eat-dog industry. If you've been in this game long enough, you've likely dealt with brokers who look out for their commission checks over your portfolio, or worse, try to circumvent you entirely.

If you want to protect your capital and your time in today's economic climate, you have to change how you source and vet deals. Here are three strict rules I follow to protect my transactions:

Verify Proof of Funds Immediately: Never take a buyer's word or a generic pre-approval letter at face value. Demand direct, recent verification of liquid capital before tying a property up.

Account for Conservative Appraisals Early: In a shifting market, relying on optimistic comps will kill your debt structure. Stress-test your loan-to-value benchmarks against conservative numbers from day one.

Look Outside the Gatekept Platforms: The massive listing platforms dominate the space, but they also demand predatory subscription fees and create a crowded, high-noise environment where independent buyers and owners get squeezed.

The future of CRE investing isn't about chasing public, marked-up listings; it's about connecting directly with other principals, sharing off-market opportunities, and cutting out the noise.

If you can avoid raising rent when the economy is bad, tenants will remember that. Give them confidence that their lease is secure, and build a real relationship instead of hiding behind a corporate curtain is a good idea.

Show tenants you want them to prosper. Definitely learn about their business. Refer them to useful marketing resources so they can make more sales and prosper, if they are weak in that area. That is how you win long term.

@HoustonChron Were they behind the increase of the lottery ticket?

Muslim terrorists continue to slaughter, rape, enslave and burn Christians and other minorities across Asia and Africa. Churches are torched with worshippers trapped inside. Pregnant women are hacked open. Entire villages are wiped out.

The world turns a blind eye.
Western politicians chase Muslim votes and pretend this is not happening. The media calls it “clashes” or “intercommunal violence” instead of naming the truth: this is Islamic jihad against non-Muslims.

The international community has nothing to say when the victims are Christians. Their lives are worth nothing to the globalist elites who import the same ideology that is erasing Christians in Nigeria.

If you have any faith left, keep these persecuted Christians in your prayers.
Be their voice.

Do not let the world look away.
These crimes must stop.
The silence must end.

Why joint ventures help smaller investors enter bigger deals.

Many investors find a property, but the deal falls through because they lack sufficient capital, experience, or lending strength.
A joint venture can help people combine money, knowledge, relationships, and deal flow.
But the deal still has to work.

Clear roles. Clear numbers. Clear agreement.
Newlista is being built to address this problem, helping commercial real estate professionals connect over deals, capital, debt, and experience.
What is harder today, finding the deal or finding the money?

Residential real estate investors often think the biggest obstacle to commercial real estate is money.

Money matters.

But the bigger gap is often relationships.

Who knows the broker?
Who understands the deal?
Who can raise capital?
Who can operate it?
Who has lender contacts?
That is why many CRE deals happen through partnerships and joint ventures.
Newlista is being built for that world.
Real estate investors need more than listings.
They need the right people around the deal.

Time is one of the biggest barriers in CRE.

Networking matters, but most investors are pressed for time.

Traveling to events, meeting new people, making cold calls, and hoping to find the right fit can take months, sometimes years.

Deals move fast. Your network should too.

What has been your biggest networking breakthrough in CRE so far?

@capratecraig That is definitely my dream setup

@MarioNawfal We have the same problem in Texas.

[Newlista | Commercial Real Estate @newlista]

Fear keeps a lot of people out of Commercial Real Estate investing.

Read the books.
Go to meetup groups.
Watch videos.
Take classes.
Find a mentor.

Just do not turn learning into a long term excuse to avoid action.

I learned that myself. I once started a small construction company. I did hurricane repairs. When the work dried up, I got into house framing, even though I knew nothing about it. I studied, learned from experienced people, and started calling builders.

Most said no.
One said yes.
That yes opened more doors.

Start scared if you have to. Just start.

Story 1, The First Time Commercial Real Estate Investor

A first time investor finds a promising CRE deal, then reality hits.

The bank wants a stronger partner. They want a full due diligence package and they reject the loan.
The investor does not know seasoned people to guide them. They cannot access the right network fast enough. The deal slips away. This happens all the time in commercial real estate. The drive is there, but the network is missing.

What advice would you give a first time CRE buyer?

[Newlista | Commercial Real Estate @newlista]

Finding the right investment property is often harder than raising the capital.

Many investors are ready to move.
The real challenge is finding a quality opportunity before everyone else sees it.
Public listings are crowded.
Off market deals are harder to find.
And too many opportunities get slowed down by unnecessary layers.

That is one reason Newlista matters.
✔ Share off-market opportunities privately
✔ Connect directly in an investor network
✔ See deals earlier
✔ Move faster with more clarity

What is the biggest challenge you face when looking for your next property?

It depends. If the lease is with a national tenant that has corporate guarantees there iss no need to pay over time: however if not thats another story. Traditionally that is how it was done and Landlord should always make their due diligence on evaluating the strength of the tenant.

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

Why do commercial brokers get paid their commission on the full lease at move-in, rather than getting paid over time, as the tenant actually pays rent?

Feels like it would be fairer for them to bear the risk of default alongside the landlord, no?

[Newlista | Commercial Real Estate @newlista]

@brianbeers Brian. They buy it as a write-off. Over the span of my career in commercial real estate, I have seen investors buy properties with zero income. People who did not understand were scratching their heads.

@Levine_Mentors Writing

Well said. Capital helps, network helps, but discipline is what protects you. Knowing when to pass is one of the most underrated skills in commercial real estate.

[Newlista | Commercial Real Estate @newlista]

Breaking into commercial real estate is not just about finding deals.

Most new investors get stuck in 2 places:

1️⃣ Access to capital
2️⃣ Building the right network and mentorship
Great opportunities get missed when you do not have funding or the right people in your corner.

That’s why we built Newlista, to connect real estate investors with funding opportunities and a strong network.

What was the biggest challenge when you started in real estate?

@elite_investor_ Thanks, Tom, I appreciate that. I’m always open to connecting with people active in the space. What opportunities are you most focused on right now, and what kinds of deals are you currently involved in?
