I’m Matt Faupel - founder of FaupelX, creator of CRE Pro™, and someone who’s spent the last decade on the frontlines of commercial real estate. I built this community for one reason: to raise the standard of property management and leadership in our industry. Too often, property managers are buried in tasks, pulled into chaos, and left without the training or tools they really need. This community fixes that. Inside you’ll find: - 🎓 Free Courses → From the First 90 Days in CRE to advanced leadership, finance, and AI. - 🛠️ Practical Tools → Systems, frameworks, and workflows you can use immediately. - 🤝 A Network of Operators → Property professionals who want to share wins, solve problems, and grow together. Here’s how to get started: 1. Introduce yourself in the [Welcome Thread] — share your role, market, and one goal you’re chasing. 2. Pick a course in the Classroom that matches where you are in your career. 3. Engage weekly — drop a win on Fridays, share lessons in “War Stories,” and add to the resource library. This community is about clarity, systems, leadership, and execution. If you’re here, you’re serious about leveling up — and you’re in the right place. 👉 So let’s raise the standard of CRE together. - Matt

This thread is for books, podcasts, tools, and training that made you better in CRE or leadership. Some starting points: - Atomic Habits by James Clear - Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink - The Buildings Podcast - CRE Pro™ 👉 Drop your go-to resources here - let’s build the best CRE library together.

Every property manager has that one story - the flood, the fire alarm, the power outage, the emergency call at 3 a.m. This thread is for sharing real-world lessons learned. - What happened? - How did you respond? - What would you do differently next time? 👉 Post your “War Story” and help the next operator avoid the same mistakes.

Every Friday we celebrate one win from the week - big or small. Your win could be: - Securing budget approval 💵 - Running a smooth tenant event 🎉 - Handling a tough vendor call like a pro ⚙️ - Or simply keeping your week under control ✅ 👉 Post your win below - this is how we build momentum and learn from each other.

Excited to finally see CRE Pro come to life and see how others are using it. I built it because I was tired of property managers and engineers not having the same leverage other industries already do. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s already crazy useful for everyday stuff - seasonal checklists, leadership advice, building equipment, vendor conversations, even emergency preparedness. If you’re new, start small. Ask it to draft a professional development plan for your role or build out your next inspection checklist. Once you see how it works, the ideas really start flowing.
