How to Fix Up Commercial Properties

Are commercial fixer-uppers worth the time, expense and effort? My answer to that would be that the right fixer-upper with numbers that make sense can be the right strategy to use. In fact, these types of properties can be an easy way to see an instant value increase in the property but like with any deal, only if the costs to rehab the property make sense.

How to get started

Dave Lindahl's Principles of Successful Investing
  • Have integrity in everything you do
  • You're not in the real estate business; you're in the marketing business.
  • You have to respect yourself in order to get that from others.
  • Start small, simple, and inexpensively. But start!
  • Expect to feel a little uneasy at first, and be HAPPY about the fact that some parts of the business take work.
  • Be thrifty. Don't be cheap.
  • Follow my systems before you create your own.
  • Don't waste time with unmotivated sellers.
  • Delegate before you think you are ready.
  • If it works, keep using it; if it doesn't, then tweak it. If it still doesn't, toss it.
  • You're marketing to a "moving parade".
  • Track your activities and results.
  • Follow Up!
  • Keep going.
