    Loopnet is a great site.

    • David Williams Over a year ago

      FYI Loopnet says that their free site only gives you access to 20% of their listings. For $40 per month you’ll get 5x as many listings.

      • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

        Loopnet is a business too Asking for $480/yr for listing info you dont have is not unreasonable

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      Loopnet is great

    • Todd Prebushewski Over a year ago

      Great resource!

  2. Kevin Cook Over a year ago

    Great point regarding MLS vs. Loopnet and their applications, Ron. I also am encouraged by the broker networking as I wasn’t thinking that direction.

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      As a realtor I agree with Ron’s approach too

  3. Scott Burton Over a year ago

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      Not a surprise businesses like Loopnet have a small user audience

  4. Taj Mohamed Over a year ago

    Havent been able to find this video where Ron talks about buying something off loopnet and flipping it fpr 3 times what he paid– anyone know what jes talkong about?

  5. Cres Mandujano Over a year ago

    Great points I wasn’t thinking that direction.

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      that’s why he’s Ron, great points are what he comes up with

  6. Mario Acevedo Over a year ago

    Thank you Ron. I liked how you used the price and square foot numbers to start your investigation. I know Loop Net web site well, and if you do subscribe to it you get great deal of information easily and quickly. But you must call for verification. Mario Acevedo, WA. State

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      @Mario Acevedo thanks for the heads up on Loopnet info

    • Matthew Hell Over a year ago

      I did to Mario. I like how he used the price and square foot numbers to start his investigation. And I agree you must call for verification!

  16. Christopher Carrington Over a year ago

    I went on the website and seen a building with 100% occupied, 6,250 sf at 88 dollars and asking price for 550,000. Is that a good deal or not

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      @Christopher Carrington the question you ask is too simple Is it a good deal for what? buy and hold? wholesale? partner?

      • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

        @Christopher Carrington I think you would do yourself a service by researching the process more in depth

  17. Brit Vega Over a year ago

  20. LaTanya Graves Over a year ago

    Loopnet is awesome. I like cityfeet.com as well!

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      @LaTanya Graves thanks for cityfeet.com tip

  21. LaTanya Graves Over a year ago

    @Taj Mohamed—Ron’s video regarding property bought and sold for 3x as much is on previous lesson in the commercial training. I recommend you go back and listen to lesson 2-5 as he gives examples of these deals while providing ways to create No Money Down strategies to purchase commercial property.

    • Arthur Hardy Over a year ago

      @LaTanya Graves good advice

    • Matthew Hell Over a year ago

      This is a great video, what a way to sit in the comfort of your own house to find real estate deals.

      You know what this is good for? Stay at home parents, whether they are mom’s or dad’s would benifit from this.

      Thanks for the amazing resourse.

  22. Mitch Hell Over a year ago

    This is great. Work at home to get leads. Love it. I didn’t think of it this way

  23. Paul Black Over a year ago

    OK…loopnet and cityfeet. Does anyone have another commercial source???

  24. Tom Holyfield Over a year ago

    Sifting and sorting, screening and pre-screening…hey VA…I got something for you.

  25. Darren Dixie Over a year ago

    great content. I’ve loopnet from a few other sources. Thanks ron.

  26. Paul Brennan Over a year ago

    So Your Telling Me That Loopnet Gives You The Brokers As Well?

  27. Paul Brennan Over a year ago

    You Put In Multifamily In The Beginning At What Point Does It Become Commercial? Anything Over 5?

    • Trevor Morgan Over a year ago

      Paul, you probably found this out – in Canada a residential is anything under 8 units; in the States it’s usually anything over a 4 plex. Other countries are different.

  28. Dmitriy Zakharin Over a year ago

    What’s the % or stuff on mls vs loop net

    • Trevor Morgan Over a year ago

      Dmitry, you have probably found this out by now, but MLS systems are usually used for residence – single family, condo, farm, etc. They are designed for residential realtors. A multifamily unit (over 4 units) is a business, hence, commercial. You won’t find commercial properties on the MLS, as a rule. The brokers are different, the deals are different, the market is different. MLS is a waste of time for commercial b/c it’s usually a residential broker listing and doesn’t know how to work a commercial deal.

  29. Brian Chilcote Over a year ago

    As always, Great info!

  30. Greg Morris Over a year ago

  39. Marlene Cooper Over a year ago

    Networking with other commercial investors is also very powerful. Many times these are the people you can partner with.

  40. Juan Gonzalez Over a year ago

    Why is a high CAP rate not good?

    • Trevor Morgan Over a year ago

      Juan, a low CAP rate means that the building is making a profit and a well run property. Maintained, managed and leased very well. They are prime investment targets for very ‘hands off’ investors like REIT’s, pension funds and insurance companies. A high CAP – because the CAP is the rate of return on your investment, right? You invest $100,000 for the building at a CAP of 4%, you can expect a 4% return on your money every year – low return, safe investment. You invest $100,000 in a building with a CAP of 18% and you can expect an 18% ROI annually – a high CAP is a higher risk (problems with the building, zoning, management, etc). So a *high* CAP can be good, or it can be dangerous, it depends upon if you know what you are doing, and you can solve the problems profitably. Make sense?

  41. Aaron Anderson Over a year ago

    Awesome!

    Gonna start doing this tonight!

    I’m looking forward to bringing some deals to the Commercial Property boot camp!

  42. Bella Chartrand Over a year ago

    love these lessons!

  43. Ian Lemke Over a year ago

    LoopNet does have a bad rap.. but it’s a good place to find brokers who can send u their pocket listings

  44. Joseph M'Mwirichia Over a year ago

    Been on loopnet for several years..on the free service, first time I have heard that I’m only looking at a tiny percentage of the deals available. Never even thought to look into the paid version…UNTIL NOW.
