East Nashville Retail Building Sold Off-Market
The investment group continues to grow its presence in East Nashville.
East Nashville-based investor, Tyler Cauble, has acquired another commercial building on the Eastside in a partnership with Victor Bartley of Sixty Four Investments.
3210 Gallatin Pike, which was purchased for $445,000, was formerly home to a neighborhood tobacco market.
The building has now been leased to East Nashville catering group, In Good Company, which currently has a location near Five Points.
The Cauble Group, also based in East Nashville, sourced the investment opportunity off-market and handled the leasing of the building. Pfeffer Torode is handling the redesign of the property while Eshelman Construction will perform the renovations.

3210 Gallatin Pike is a 2,156 square foot retail property, originally constructed in 1950.
The site offers load-in parking out front with a small courtyard in the rear. The open floor plan with a former kitchen build-out in the rear lent itself well to occupancy by In Good Company.

Successful investors—from high-net-worth individuals to family offices and long-time CRE pros—know to use one of the most powerful tools in the IRS tax code: the 1031 exchange.
It’s not a loophole. It’s not a trick. It’s a well-established strategy that allows you to sell investment property, defer capital gains taxes, and reinvest your full equity into another deal. No tax bill, no reset. Just uninterrupted momentum for your portfolio.
And if done strategically, it’s how some investors go decades without paying capital gains—building cash flow, appreciation, and generational wealth along the way.
In this post, we’ll break down exactly how 1031 exchanges work, why they’re so valuable, and how the most successful real estate investors use them to scale their portfolios. Whether you’re looking to trade up into a triple net asset, diversify markets, or reposition your real estate for retirement or legacy, this is a strategy you need to understand—and use.
If you’re managing wealth in 2025, commercial real estate isn’t just an alternative asset anymore—it’s the anchor.
Family offices, private investors, and institutional advisors have spent the last few years rethinking their approach to portfolio strategy. COVID reshaped where people live and work. Inflation pushed investors to look for hedges with real, tangible value. And the demand for consistent cash flow has never been stronger.
So where are the pros putting their capital now?
They’re looking beyond the traditional playbook. Think last-mile logistics hubs, life sciences campuses, and even suburban strip malls with service-based tenants. They're reallocating from shaky office towers into flex properties, recession-resilient retail, and credit-backed NNN assets.
Wealth managers aren’t just buying square footage—they’re buying stability, scalability, and simplicity.
When most people think about how billionaires build wealth, their minds immediately go to flashy assets: tech stocks, venture capital, high-rise development deals. But if you take a closer look at the real estate portfolios of the wealthiest investors in the world, you’ll find something much quieter—and much more consistent: triple net lease (NNN) properties.
These aren’t the kind of investments that make headlines. There’s no groundbreaking ceremony, no luxury branding, no splashy marketing campaign. But there is one thing that NNNs provide that every savvy investor—from first-time buyers to multigenerational family offices—is looking for: predictable, passive income with minimal responsibility.
Private investors, business owners, and high-net-worth clients all across the Southeast use this strategy to preserve capital, reduce risk, and simplify their real estate operations. Triple net leases are as close to hands-off as it gets in commercial real estate. And in markets like Nashville—where growth is strong and tenant demand is steady—NNNs are more relevant than ever.
In this post, we’ll break down exactly why triple net leases have become a cornerstone of billionaire portfolios, and how you can use them to build steady, low-maintenance wealth. We’ll cover how the lease structure works, what types of tenants make these investments so reliable, and how to think about your exit when it’s time to reposition or trade up.
When most people think of wealth, they picture luxury—cars, watches, private jets. But the truly wealthy? They think in terms of legacy. They build portfolios, not just paychecks. And more often than not, the foundation of that legacy is commercial real estate.
It’s no coincidence:
90% of millionaires own real estate.
Many of the country’s most powerful families—think the Rockefellers, the Trumps, the Pritzkers—used CRE as their vehicle for long-term generational wealth.
And even today, institutional investors and family offices are doubling down on real estate as a hedge against inflation, volatility, and market chaos.
But this isn't just about owning property. It’s about owning the right properties, in the right structures, with the right strategy—and playing the long game.
In this post, we’re breaking down what I call the $100M Blueprint—the long-term, strategic approach wealthy investors use to build and preserve wealth through commercial real estate. Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling your portfolio, this guide will help you think like the pros and structure your real estate decisions for real legacy.
When the market slows down, most investors go quiet. They assume that if listings are drying up and interest rates are high, there must not be any deals worth chasing.
But here’s the truth: some of the best commercial real estate opportunities show up when everyone else pulls back. It’s in these quieter cycles—like the one we’re in now—that serious investors find motivated sellers, underperforming assets, and creative deal structures that simply wouldn’t exist in a bidding-war environment.
In 2025, deals aren’t dead—they’re just harder to see. You won’t find them on LoopNet or the MLS. You’ll find them through relationships, research, and resourcefulness.
In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to source real CRE opportunities in a slow market. We’ll cover how to tap into off-market inventory, spot overlooked assets, work with the right brokers, and negotiate with sellers who actually want to make a deal happen.
Commercial real estate can be one of the most rewarding investments out there—but only if you know exactly what you’re getting into. On paper, a deal might look perfect: solid rent roll, great location, and what seems like a motivated seller. But if you skip or shortcut due diligence, you’re not investing—you’re gambling.
Due diligence is the process that separates amateurs from professionals. It’s how experienced investors avoid surprises, confirm performance, and protect their capital. It’s not glamorous work. It’s not the kind of thing you brag about on social media. But it’s what makes the difference between a property that cash flows and one that drains your bank account.
In this post, we’ll break down what due diligence actually involves, why it matters at every stage of the transaction, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that trip up less-prepared buyers. Whether you’re purchasing your first flex space or adding a multi-tenant retail building to your portfolio, this guide will help you approach the process with the clarity and caution the best investors rely on.
In the world of commercial real estate, the learning curve is steep—and littered with half-truths and outdated assumptions. If you’ve ever hesitated to invest because “CRE is only for the ultra-wealthy,” or passed on a property with a vacancy thinking it was a red flag, you’re not alone.
But here’s the truth: many of the most widely held beliefs about commercial real estate are either oversimplified or flat-out wrong. And if you buy into them, you risk missing out on strong deals, building a less resilient portfolio, or misunderstanding what makes a property truly profitable.
As a leasing broker and investor who’s walked through hundreds of transactions, I’ve seen firsthand how these misconceptions hold people back—or lead them to poor decisions. So in this post, we’re breaking down the five most common myths I hear from clients, investors, and even fellow professionals—and we’re replacing them with the reality that seasoned CRE operators live by.
Zoning is one of the most overlooked—but absolutely critical—factors in commercial real estate investing. Before you ever run your cap rate calculations or start negotiating terms, zoning determines what you can and cannot do with a property. It shapes everything from who you can lease to, to what kind of tenants you can attract, to whether your business plan even works at all.
A flex space that’s zoned industrial may allow you to lease to a logistics operator or a manufacturing tenant—but that same building in a commercial zone could restrict your options to retail or office users. And if you buy a building that’s out of compliance with current zoning regulations? You could be facing expensive legal battles, permit issues, or a complete stall in your investment timeline.
In this blog, we’ll break down the zoning essentials every CRE investor should understand before buying a property. From use categories and zoning overlays to variances and value-add plays, this guide will help you ask the right questions and avoid costly mistakes. Whether you're buying your first small warehouse or adding to a portfolio of mixed-use developments, zoning can either be your greatest advantage—or your biggest risk.
Recessions expose the strengths and weaknesses of every investment portfolio—but in commercial real estate, some asset classes consistently rise above the volatility. While economic downturns often lead to higher vacancies, tighter lending conditions, and declining property values, not all sectors are equally vulnerable. In fact, a select group of asset classes tend to outperform, offering dependable cash flow and tenant stability even in uncertain times.
These recession-resistant properties share a few key traits: they serve essential needs, attract long-term tenants, and demonstrate historically low vacancy rates regardless of economic conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned investor rebalancing your portfolio or a new buyer looking for durable assets, understanding where to deploy capital in a recession is critical.
In this post, we’ll break down the top three commercial real estate sectors that offer resilience during downturns—industrial real estate, medical office buildings, and necessity-based retail. Each has its own strengths, challenges, and long-term outlook—but together, they represent a strong foundation for any investor looking to build a portfolio that can weather the next economic storm.
Let’s dive in.
For the past decade, luxury apartments have dominated real estate headlines—and investor attention. Sleek downtown towers, rooftop pools, and Class A rents felt like the gold standard. But in 2025, the cracks are showing.
Across the country, we’re seeing rising vacancy rates, flatlining rents, and a flood of new high-end units hitting already saturated markets. Combine that with inflation, elevated interest rates, and construction costs that just won’t quit, and suddenly, that “can’t-miss” luxury multifamily project doesn’t pencil like it used to.
Meanwhile, the most seasoned investors—the ones focused on cash flow, downside protection, and essential demand—have already pivoted. They’re moving capital into real estate assets that don’t rely on trends or trophy aesthetics. Assets that deliver consistent occupancy, predictable income, and long-term tenant need.
In this post, we’re breaking down the asset classes that are taking over where luxury apartments are falling short—from flex space to medical offices—and why they’re attracting everyone from family offices to first-time CRE buyers.
If you’re thinking about what to buy next (or what to avoid), this is your roadmap.
