“Breaking into Commercial: How We Closed Our First Deal (In-Person)”

Breaking Into Commercial: How We Closed Our First Deal (and Why You Should Too)"
Most real estate investors start in residential—but commercial real estate is where true scale and cash flow often live.
In this month’s Team Blessing REIA meetup, we're pulling back the curtain on our journey from single-family homes to our first commercial building acquisition. You’ll learn what we discovered along the way—including what doesn't translate from residential investing, what you must understand before making an offer, and why commercial properties can deliver outsized returns even on similar square footage.
👉 Here’s what we’ll cover:
• Why we made the leap—and how to know if you should
• How commercial value is calculated (totally different from comps!)
• Why appraisals cost more—and how to prepare for it
• What’s different (and sometimes easier!) about commercial contracts and closings
• Real numbers from our deal: financing, tenant lease, and structure
• How you can start—even without a massive bankroll
Whether you’re a residential investor curious about next steps, or a new investor looking to understand both paths, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
Come learn what it takes to level up—from homes to commercial holdings.
