What if you could transform a small duplex purchase into a sprawling portfolio of commercial properties? In this episode, we sit down with Carlos Rovira from Florida, who takes us through his remarkable 15-year journey in real estate investing. Starting in 2009 with a modest duplex, Carlos has become a specialist in triple net shopping centers and highlights why he prefers smaller retail spaces under 2,000 square feet. Learn about his unique approach to managing properties in-house for optimal performance and his insightful strategies for acquiring properties in Miami, Kansas City, and Orlando.
As we dive deeper, you'll hear about the complexities of finding and managing commercial real estate in diverse markets like Kansas City and Florida. Carlos shares the challenges of acquiring vacant or distressed properties and dealing with undesirable tenants. We explore a hypothetical scenario to illustrate how to analyze potential deals, focusing on occupancy rates, rental income, and property value appreciation. Discover the stark differences between commercial and residential real estate investments and the incredible potential for substantial returns through Carlos’s expert property management and tenant placement tactics.
In our final segment, Carlos opens up about his capital-raising strategies and the importance of maintaining controlling interests in his investments. Hear about his journey of self-funding and raising capital from close networks, and how starting in a tough market shaped his resilience and preparedness. We touch on current market conditions, economic fluctuations, and the unpredictable nature of property transactions.
