You've probably heard this on more calls than you can count. You introduce yourself, you mention the property, you barely get a question out — and the seller says: "I'm not really interested in selling." Most investors take that at face value. They say "thanks for your time" and move on. That's a mistake. "I'm not interested" is rarely the truth. It's the response sellers give when they don't want to be sold to. What it usually means is one of three things. 🤔 Maybe they're not interested right now but might be later. 🤔 Maybe they're not interested at the price they assume you'll offer. 🤔 Maybe they're interested but don't trust you yet. None of those are no. They're all not yet. Here's the move on the next call. When they say "I'm not interested," don't push back. Don't pitch harder. Don't ask why. Try this instead. "Totally understand. Mind if I ask — if you were ever to consider selling, what would the situation have to look like for it to make sense?" You just shifted the question entirely. You're not asking them to sell. You're asking them what would make selling worth thinking about. Some sellers will close down. That's fine — you weren't converting them this call anyway. Some will pause. Then they'll start telling you exactly what their threshold would be. Price. Terms. Timing. Now you have something to work with. And they didn't feel pitched. Try this on your next call. Come back and report.

This weekend is a holiday, crew. Hot dogs. Fireworks. The flag. The whole thing. But let's be honest about why most of us are here in this group. It's not because we're patriotic. Plenty of patriotic people don't read commercial real estate posts at 9pm on a Tuesday. You're here because you want a different kind of freedom than the one we celebrate tomorrow. The kind where Tuesday at 10am doesn't belong to a boss. 🎇 Where your kids see you at dinner because you're there, not because you scheduled it. 🎇 Where one bad month at one company doesn't put your family at risk. 🎇 Where you decide what your week looks like. That's the freedom commercial real estate actually delivers when you do it right. Not "passive income" marketing fantasy. Real cash flow, from real assets, on a schedule you control. Single-family rentals don't get you there fast enough. You'd need 30, 40, 50 doors to replace a real income — and the math grinds you down before you get there. One commercial deal can do the work of 50 houses. That's the whole thesis of this community. So while you're at the cookout tomorrow, watching the fireworks — keep that in mind. You're not here by accident. You're here because some part of you knows the W-2 version of life isn't actually the freedom version. Enjoy the holiday. Then get back to building the one that lasts longer than a 3 day weekend.

This is Vera's story. For most of a year, Vera was doing what a lot of you are doing right now. She was looking at multifamily deals. Running numbers. Sending offers. And getting nowhere. And the story she was telling herself was one I hear all the time. "All the good deals are getting gobbled up by institutional investors. There's nothing left for me." It felt true. Every deal she chased seemed to be locked up by some fund or REIT before she could blink. So she'd keep looking. Keep grinding. Keep going home empty-handed. Then something shifted. It wasn't that the market changed. It wasn't that the institutions left. Both of those were still happening. 👉 What changed was Vera's approach. She stopped competing with institutions in the rooms where institutions were winning. She started having different conversations, in different markets, with different sellers — the ones the institutions never bothered with. Two months later, she had 2 apartment deals locked in. Not 1. Two. After a year of nothing. Here's the lesson. Vera didn't lose a year because she wasn't working hard enough. She lost a year competing for the wrong deals against the wrong people. If you've been at this for months without traction, the answer probably isn't "try harder." It's "try somewhere else." Find the sellers and the markets the institutions don't care about. That's where you win. Interested in learning how I help people just like you re-write their own stories? 📞 Book a Strategy Session HERE

Here's something most commercial investors get wrong on their very first deal. They find a property. Run the numbers. Land on a number that makes sense. Send it. One offer. One number. One answer. And the seller does what sellers do when given a single number — they reject it, or they counter once and stop returning calls. Binary positions usually break the wrong way. The investors who close more deals don't send one offer. They send three. Same seller. Same property. Same conversation. 👉 Lower price, all cash, fast close 👉 Higher price, seller financing, longer close 👉 Mid-range price, clean contingencies, ironclad earnest money The conversation completely changes. The seller isn't deciding whether to take your offer. They're deciding which of three fits them best. And the one they pick tells you something they probably wouldn't have said out loud — whether they care most about cash now, total dollars, or certainty of close. Once you know that, you refine the one they leaned toward into a better version. I built an LOI template that lets you send all three offers in a single document. 📃 Grab it here or in the Free Resources Module in the Classroom. Drop the template into your next deal and see what happens. Then come back and tell me which of the three the seller picked.
