Tyler Cauble’s Debt-Free $400K Payoff From a $1K Investment

In episode 226, I’m talking with Tyler Cauble, a commercial real estate investor and YouTuber flipping the script on the CRE game. Tyler started selling Cutco knives in college, dropped out, and built a massive portfolio without ever touching residential real estate.

We dive deep into how he has built massive value, like finding $215K in equity without doing any rehab. We also explore flex space vs. retail, cost segregation studies, broker strategies, and the creative partnerships he forms (like pairing pickup with storage facilities to boost occupancy).

If you want to break into commercial or industrial real estate, this episode is packed with tactics you can use today.
