Let’s talk about what commercial real estate opportunities can make money for you via finder’s fees or real estate investing. We’re talking about finding commercial listings that all-cash buyers want to snap up. Desirable properties have three characteristics.1. They are in a property class that is desirable.2. They have good cash flow.3. They have a good upside “story”.I want to talk about property classes right now that are most desirable. Let’s start with something that may be somewhat of a surprise.Student housing. Why student housing? Because parents help kids pay for their housing. Parents can often guarantee payment. So you have two sources of the rent. Never hurts!Multi-family commercial residential real estate investing.

This can be one bedroom or larger units. 2 or 3 bedroom can be ideal for conversion into Section 8 housing. Section 8 housing is partially paid for by the federal government. There are strict standards and the government must periodically inspect your property.But the government pays generous rents. Section 8 can be immensely profitable. Regardless of whether the multi-family is Section 8 or not, everyone has to live somewhere.As more home owners lose their homes they move into apartment rentals. The prospects for commercial residential apartment buildings then gets brighter. Rents are going up in some places.

The second most desired commercial listing is commercial warehouse. When people move out of their home they are often down-sizing from a 3 or 4 bedroom to a 1 or 2 bedroom. They need the warehouse space as a storage facility.

The third type of commercial listing that is highly desirable is assisted living. Think about it. Right now millions of baby boomers are silently aging. Within 10 years millions will be in the 75 year range and some will need extra help. The need for assisted living facilities will explode. They are already in demand and bring high cash flow returns in certain states right now. The fourth type of commercial listing in high demand are homes for sale in the form of bulk REOs.
