INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTING 🏭
Discover why industrial warehouse properties are becoming the secret weapon for smart real estate investors tired of dealing with hundreds of apartment tenants! In this episode, I sit down with Jens Nielsen from Open Doors Capital who controls over 2000 apartment units and 100,000 square feet of industrial space. We dive deep into why industrial properties offer 8-9% cap rates compared to 4-5% on apartments, and how managing one tenant instead of 200 can dramatically simplify your investing life.
MULTIFAMILY TO INDUSTRIAL TRANSITION 📊
Jens shares his journey from starting with small fourplexes in Albuquerque to syndicating 200+ unit apartment complexes, and eventually discovering the power of industrial real estate. Learn why the headaches of apartment management, rising insurance costs, and constant tenant turnover pushed him toward warehouse investing. He breaks down his recent 30,000 square foot industrial deal that went from vacant to fully leased in just three to four months with a national telecommunications tenant on a four year lease.

Learn about the shocking upfront broker commissions on industrial leases that can cost $100,000-$200,000 before you see a single rent check, and how to structure your deals accordingly.
