I’m Rafik Moore, founder of Brait Capital and Value Add Network. In this episode of the Value Add Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend and business partner, Saul Z, to discuss his incredible journey from flipping houses to building a commercial real estate portfolio exceeding 2 million square feet.
We dive into the realities of today’s commercial real estate market, the challenges of scaling, and the mindset required to keep growing through changing market cycles.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Saul transitioned from residential investing to large-scale commercial real estate
- Lessons from a major investment loss—and why failure became fuel for growth
- How cap rates, interest rates, and financing are shaping today’s opportunities
- Using AI to source better commercial real estate deals
- Why industrial outdoor storage is one of today’s most exciting asset classes
- The story behind a Milwaukee value-add acquisition
- Building partnerships that create long-term wealth
- Three habits every successful commercial real estate investor should develop
Whether you’re just getting started or already investing in commercial real estate, this conversation is filled with practical strategies, honest lessons, and actionable insights you can apply immediately.
