Less than 3% of Commercial Real Estate is Owned and Managed by Women

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.

1031 Diary II: Boost Mobile, 4403 W. Commerce

We acquired 4403 W Commerce in December of 2020 after selling 2707 Rogge Lane. The Rogge property was an East Side shopping center near the Mueller that required a gut renovation. We had it leased up and were working through our redevelopment plans when Austin’s growth out-paced us and a bigger fish came with an offer we couldn’t refuse.

Similar to our 8808 Barker Cypress acquisition, we felt like we could sell high in the Austin market and move our gains into a safe and stable NNN investment elsewhere.

Exclusive Insights from Globe St. Women of Influence

“I like money. I do, I like numbers, I like negotiating, I like the challenge of turning a no into a yes. I really do like money. I like knowing I have it, I grew up in a house where there was never enough. Raised by a single mom OnlyParent. Not going to sit here and tell you I only do what I do to take care of other people. Because it is OK to do it for ourselves. For how it makes us feel. Secure - yeah. Powerful - Absolutely. I am so glad that it is finally acceptable for women to talk about AMBITION openly.

Coffee Talk | About the Workplace

This past Friday at our bi-weekly East Austin Coffee we had plenty of good conversations but one that grabbed everyone’s attention and had the most feedback was leadership. We keep hearing talk that there is a labor shortage but could it be there is a lost commitment to connection disrupting success stories because of a lack of something we are not discussing more openly? No doubt the return to work/office after the pandemic has impacted all businesses. Combined with the economic ‘calamity’ it is critical to understand, How does one recruit and retain employees? Creating an environment that allows room for development using effective communication, beginning with intentional listening skills and interacting in a way that allows others to thrive.

1031 - Protect The Gain | SOLD: 2426 Webberville
