In commercial real estate, there are two things you can leverage: time or money. If you’re starting without capital, you’ll need to lean heavily on time—and yes, that means rolling up your sleeves and putting in the work. Here’s what “sweat equity” looks like in action: - Cold-calling business owners to see if they’re open to selling. - Networking with brokers and others who have access to potential deals. - Hitting the pavement to visit properties, knock on doors, and source deals firsthand. It’s not glamorous, but it works. The truth? Your goals don’t care how hard you have to hustle to reach them—they only care that you show up and make it happen. Want to shortcut the process?
