He also dives into:
Why single-story brick office buildings are his latest goldmine
How local knowledge gives investors a major edge
The hidden advantages of buying commercial properties close to home
Surprising stories (like FEMA's lightning-fast move-in!)
What kinds of businesses are thriving in these repurposed spaces
His next target: transforming empty big-box retail stores
This is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered whether you're overlooking opportunities right in your own neighborhood.
