According to research by BiggerPockets, women represent less than 2% of commercial real estate investors. This figure is surprising given that more women own and manage their own businesses today than ever before. Commercial real estate is an asset class that offers tremendous potential for growth, especially when you consider the current market conditions. However, most women are not investing in commercial real estate for one main reason: lack of knowledge about how it works and how they can get started investing. But this isn't true for Women In Commercial Real Estate. For Women in our profession, investing is squarely in our Circle of Competence.

There is potential to create $1 trillion dollars of value for women in commercial real estate by 2025 if we start investing like men. It's a $3.5 trillion dollar industry, and it's the largest one in the world.

Feasibility is about to expire on the sale of our fully-leased, 20,000sqft Warehouse in Creedmoor, TX, which means we've got nearly $2M cash to place in a safe NNN investment.

We're willing to go up to $4M for the right property... send us a winner and we'll show you the money!!

Purchase Requirement:

• NNN Lease, Long Term Lease (5 year +)

• Strong Tenant (Community Oriented, Recession Proof Industry, Solid FInancials

• New Construction (2015-Present)

• Austin/San Antonio/Dallas/Houston Location

It started when DeLea and Mark met for the 1st time for breakfast at Chumikals in 2017 (a favorite East Austin Joint for both) and the breakfast stretched into lunch. A couple of days later the property was toured and under contract - the rest is Award-Winning History!

The inspiring architects at Dick Clark & Associates have been rightfully recognized for their incredible office design at 2120 E 7th St - winning the Austin Business Journal’s 2021 CRE award for Best Office Rehab.

Originally an 80s pawnshop, 2120 E 7th was built like a concrete bunker with just one window and no insulation or even air conditioning for most of the space. DCA’s ground up design and construction has transformed the site into an eye-catching functional space perfect for creative office and retail needs.

As a Commercial Real Estate Broker I am often asked for guidance on decisions my clients are making.    No matter the transaction size we want our clients as educated as possible on legal and tax implications.

For any business renting space, a commercial lease is one of the most important documents in the filing cabinet, sharing company with bank documents, proof of insurance, and yet-to-be-paid invoices. Because it defines the legal relationship between landlord and tenant, a commercial lease will, in many ways, provide physical context for a business inhabiting the space while shaping opportunities for growth throughout the contract term. 

So you’ve heard the gossip and realized that the talking heads are right, that commercial real estate is the best long-term investment out there. But now that you’ve decided commercial real estate is the right investment for you, how do you break into the market?
