4w ago00:34:03Tap to summarizeGrab our free industrial building tour checklist here: https://grahamstorey.kit.com/industrialchecklistJesse and I have toured a LOT of industrial buildings, and we kept walking out realizing we forgot to ask the same questions over and over. So we built a simple one-pager checklist we now bring to every appointment.In this episode we walk through the full thing: every question we ask, why each one matters, and the mistakes that cost us money before we started using it.What we cover:- Property overview: asking price, reason for selling, square footage discrepancies, parking, construction type- Why the seller almost never gives you a real asking price (and how to pull one out of them)- When to bring up seller financing on a tour (hint: not in the first five minutes)- Building specs: dock doors, drive-in doors, clear height, column spacing, sprinklers, power, HVAC, roof age- The sprinkler trap that can kill a 20,000 SF deal- Utility meters and why one shared water meter has cost us real money- Tenancy: rental rates, lease expirations, lease types, and how to use a bad lease as a negotiation tool- Two tools we use to capture every tour without taking notes (Plaud recorder + Meta Ray-Bans)If you're a residential investor making the jump into commercial, this is the nitty gritty tactical stuff nobody talks about. Save it, use it, and let us know what we missed.Subscribe for new CRE episodes weekly.Hope you enjoy & God Bless!
