Is it possible to wholesale commercial real estate? Absolutely. Today, I’m going to walk you through what wholesaling is, the pros and cons of this strategy, how to actually wholesale commercial real estate, and the mistakes you must avoid to be successful. Let’s dive on in.
Every deal you look at feels overpriced, under contract, or just plain impossible. Sound familiar?
If you’re a new (or even experienced) commercial real estate investor who’s constantly striking out on LoopNet or waiting on brokers to call you back — this video will change how you approach deal flow forever. In this episode, I break down why good CRE deals do exist — you’re just not seeing them… yet. And more importantly, I’ll walk you through a repeatable framework for finding deals before anyone else even knows they exist.
Too many new investors are skipping the most important step in commercial real estate: defining your Buy Box.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through my Accelerator Buybox Framework—the same system I use with students in my program to bring total clarity to what you should (and shouldn't) be buying. If you're browsing listings, meeting with brokers, or analyzing deals without clear criteria, you're not investing—you're gambling.
In this episode of Lessons Learned, I sit down with Brandon Thornberry—Founder of UrbanGate Capital and a former tour manager turned real estate investor. Brandon shares how he went from house hacking in East Nashville to building a multimillion-dollar portfolio of commercial and multifamily properties. We cover everything from seller financing and creative deal structuring to managing hairy value-add properties and designing a business around your ideal lifestyle. Brandon doesn’t hold back—he shares his biggest mistakes, wildest property management stories (including one with a dead possum), and the framework he uses to de-risk deals with huge upside. Whether you're just getting started or scaling your real estate portfolio, this conversation is packed with real-world insights you won’t find anywhere else.
I’ve got nothing against BiggerPockets. They helped me get started! But they’ve also convinced thousands of investors that residential real estate is the only path to freedom—when in reality, it’s just another job. 👉 Midnight tenant texts 👉 $200/month cash flow (if you're lucky) 👉 “Passive” income that’s anything but Meanwhile, commercial real estate investors are building scalable portfolios, creating real cash flow, and forcing appreciation—without the stress.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the shady side of commercial real estate. Bribery, corruption, backdoor deals—it all happens more than you’d think.
I’m sharing stories straight from my own experience and from other brokers and investors who’ve seen it firsthand. Everything from brokers getting offered cash under the table to steer deals, to politicians mysteriously “changing their minds” after a developer cuts a check, to contractors inflating bills mid-project hoping you’ll just pay up to avoid a fight. And yeah—I’m in the middle of a $102,000 roofing debacle myself that’ll make you shake your head.
On this episode, Logan Freeman and I sit down with Jake Clark, one of Nashville’s fastest-rising commercial brokers — and a guy whose story is all about grit and getting after it.
Jake shares how he went from getting laid off in private equity to becoming a successful multifamily broker in just 18 months. It’s a wild ride, and one any broker or investor can learn from.
What does it take to go from knocking on doors… to owning a $50 million commercial real estate portfolio? In this episode, I sit down with Jess Read—an agent-turned-investor who walked away from chasing commissions to build true financial freedom through commercial real estate.
Whether you're a high-producing agent or just getting started in real estate, this conversation will show you what’s possible—and what mistakes to avoid—when you stop selling and start owning.
In this episode, I’m taking you inside our latest deal—a 100,000-square-foot flex space property at Friars Crossing in Chattanooga, TN—and sharing why we’ve stopped chasing multifamily altogether.
I’m joined by Dave Codre from Greenleaf out of Atlanta as we break down why flex industrial has become our top target for 2025. From smaller tenant suites that keep vacancy low, to flexible layouts that let us reposition space fast, we’re seeing real advantages over apartments.
In this episode, I break down why multifamily real estate might be the worst place to invest in 2025—and what asset classes are actually delivering results right now. From self-storage to flex space developments to NNN triple net leases, I’ll show you the real deals I’m buying, how we’re operating them, and why they’re outperforming apartments in cash flow, stability, and scalability.

Everyone knows what the wealthy drive and wear — but few know what they buy to build true wealth: Triple Net (and absolute net) properties.
These “boring” commercial real estate deals quietly deliver predictable, passive cash flow month after month, with tenants like CVS, Dollar General, and 7-Eleven paying not just rent but also taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
No clogged toilets. No late-night calls. Just checks in the mail.
