    ==================

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    1. Transition Requires Strategic Planning: Geoff's transition from a high-paying corporate job to full-time real estate entrepreneur was not sudden. It involved strategic planning, gradual investment in real estate, and building a safety net.

    2. Importance of Continuous Education: Geoff emphasized the significance of self-education, from reading sales and real estate books to listening to podcasts. Continuous learning played a crucial role in his successful transition.

    3. Leveraging Corporate Skills: Skills and experiences gained in the corporate world, such as sales techniques and negotiation strategies, can be highly valuable in entrepreneurial endeavors.

    4. Financial Security and Risk Management: Creating multiple income streams, like real estate investments, provides a financial safety net and mitigates risks associated with relying on a single source of income.

    5. Personal and Professional Growth: The journey of becoming an entrepreneur involves personal growth, from learning to manage time effectively to handling multiple responsibilities and priorities.

    6. Timing and Gut Feel: The decision to leave a corporate job for entrepreneurship is multifaceted and often driven by both logical analysis and gut feelings about the right timing.

    7. Building a Strong Network: Networking with mentors and partners, like Adam McCarthy in Geoff's case, is essential for guidance, support, and opportunities in the entrepreneurial journey.

    8. Calculated Risks and Freedom: Taking calculated risks is necessary for achieving greater freedom and control over one’s career and personal life.

    9. Passion and Fulfillment: Pursuing a career that aligns with one’s passion, as Geoff did with real estate, leads to greater fulfillment and long-term success.

    10. Vision for the Future: Having a clear vision and ambitious goals, such as launching a real estate fund, is critical for sustaining motivation and driving business growth.

  • Why We Are Going All-In On Class B Industrial Assets
    May 7 2024

    Discover why top investors are now pouring millions into Class B industrial real estate—don’t miss out on the next big opportunity in the market!

    Watch This Episode on YouTube

    ⬇️ The 10 Reasons We Are Going All-In On Class B Industrial ⬇️

    1. Historical Performance and Stability: Over the last 20 years, industrial real estate has consistently demonstrated strong total returns, high rent growth, and robust occupancy rates compared to other real estate asset classes like office, retail, and multifamily.

    2. COVID-19 Acceleration and E-Commerce Growth: The pandemic highlighted and accelerated the need for more industrial space due to the surge in e-commerce. This trend has increased demand for warehouses and distribution centers.

    3. Technological Advances and Supply Chain Shifts: Advances in technology and ongoing supply chain adjustments, including the adoption of robotics, are transforming the industrial sector, making it more critical than ever.

    4. Reshoring of Manufacturing: Legislative incentives and global supply chain disruptions have led to a reshoring of manufacturing to the United States, boosting demand for industrial spaces close to major markets.

    5. Long-Term, Triple-Net Leases: These leases offer predictable cash flow and reduced operational costs for landlords, as tenants are responsible for most property expenses.

    6. Value-Add Potential: Class B properties often present more opportunities for value addition and yield improvement compared to newer, Class A properties.

    7. Sticky Tenant Base: Tenants in Class B industrial spaces are less likely to relocate due to the nature of their operations, ensuring stable tenancy compared to other real estate classes.

    8. Last Mile and Infill Locations: Class B properties are often well-situated relative to urban centers, making them ideal for last-mile logistics crucial for quick delivery systems.

    9. Cost Advantage: Class B industrial spaces generally offer more competitive pricing for tenants and buyers alike, making them an attractive investment relative to the cost of new construction.

    10. Supply Constraints in Desired Sizes: There's a limited supply of mid-sized industrial facilities (20,000 to 150,000 square feet), which are in demand but not being built currently, leading to higher rents and occupancy rates in these size ranges.
