We’re so glad you’re here. As you likely know by now, our specialty is delivering pre-vetted, month-1 cash flowing Commercial Properties to high net-worth investors. 

Our model is simple. We spend over $250,000 every month sourcing some of the best properties in the country. We conduct our own diligence process against every property that meets our criteria. Then, the very few properties that “pass the test” are put under contract by our team. 

We then present those pre-vetted, under-contract deals to our small, but mighty list of investors on a first-come, first-served basis. 

When you buy one of our deals, you become the 100% owner of the property, but our job doesn’t end there. We hold your hand through the entire closing process & work on your behalf to place a property management team that will ultimately this new investment of yours as hands-off as possible. 

The end result… 

A team with over $1B+ of transactional experience conducts every step of the process for you & you end up with a $1-10M CRE Property that cash flows in the very first month.

So, You’ve Got Over $500,000…

I’m Patrick Truhlar, Executive Chairman of Custom Capital. I’ve spent the majority of my career in Mergers & Acquisitions and most recently exited an Insurance Agency I started for 9-figures. 

This is only to say – I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by high-net-worth investors like you for over 30 years. 

And as I’ve accumulated wealth through my own family office, I’m posed with the question: How should I invest $500,000 in real estate?

Of course, I’m not a financial advisor and what you’re about to read & watch is just one man’s assessment of a handful of options in today’s economic climate. 

Here are those some of the options: 

• Syndications
• Single-Family Rentals
• Commercial Real Estate 
• Commercial Real Estate with Custom Capital

Are The Tax Benefits Really That Substantial?

If you’ve got $500,000 to invest in real estate, I think it’s safe to assume that you’ve paid your fair share of taxes over the years. 

As you may know, the single largest expense of most Americans’ lifetime is taxes. 

It’s the #1 inhibiting factor to wealth expansion. 

The good news for investors like you & I is that the government has created several legal pathways to minimize your tax liability. And Commercial Real Estate Investing happens to be laden with those pathways. 

Imagine a world where instead of paying 35% in taxes annually, your effective rate was a heck of a lot closer to 0%. 

Those dollars could be reinvested to grow your wealth. Those dollars could be spent on experiences with friends and family. The possibilities are endless, but the possibilities can only begin with the right Commercial Real Estate Strategy. 

Watch this clip to see what I’m talking about.

The One Fact That Changes Everything

The term Generational Wealth is a bit overused these days by gurus selling courses, but despite that, this term still has profound meaning to me. 

I want to pass on my life’s work for the benefit of my family. 

But the thing is… I don’t want my wealth to last for only 1 generation. I want it to last forever. 

After selling one of my companies many years ago, I was talking about this Generational Wealth concept with my wife. And as we looked at our portfolio, we quickly realized that our investment allocations were in complete misalignment with our goal.

Why? I was over-allocated in cash. 

A mentor of mine once showed me how $1.00 depreciates by 97% over 100 years. 

Let me restate that because this is the fact that changed everything for me. 

Every dollar of cash you pass along to our family will only be worth 3 pennies 100 years from now. 

I’d call that a kick below the belt for anyone’s generational wealth plans. 

Cash is an asset, but its value is eroded by inflation. 

Real estate is an asset, and its value is increased by inflation. 

So every $1.00 of real estate value that you pass along to your family will likely be worth $19.22.

Is Commercial Real Estate Too Complex?

We won’t sugarcoat it. There’s a lot to know when it comes to investing in commercial real estate & what you don’t know can hurt you. 

This is part of the reason Custom Capital exists. We’ve seen the value commercial real estate can have on our financial freedom & wealth building journeys, and we want to lower the entry barrier for everyone else. 

Typically that “lower entry barrier” to Commercial Real Estate is through syndications whereby you pay 30% profits and several fees to the sponsor operating the deal. The problem is that you have absolutely no control.

In today’s environment, we’re seeing countless syndication deals (particularly in the Multifamily sector) with paused distributions. I have almost $1,000,000 invested in Syndications and the majority of investments are in distress. 

So not only is the asset underperforming. Not only am I not getting the distributions I was told to expect. But I’m also still paying fees to the sponsor. 

Do I think all syndications are bad? Of course not. 

But do I think that Custom Capital’s solution to lowering the entry barrier to CRE is better for some investors? Absolutely. 

Listen to what one of our clients had to say about how we help overcome the complexity of this asset class so that you can invest confidently.

Understanding the Different Commercial Real Estate Asset Classes

Generally speaking, our firm is asset class agnostic, meaning that if we find a deal that checks each component of our buy-box… We’ll put it under contract. 

That said, there are a handful of asset classes inside of the Commercial Real Estate world that we tend to skew towards because the opportunities are more abundant. 

Below, you can comb through some recent presentations we’ve put on about the benefits of specific asset classes:

Avoiding Major Pitfalls in Commercial Real Estate 

Purchasing a $1-10M Commercial Property may be the largest transaction of your life. If so, having a bit of anxiety around the transaction is completely normal. 

We believe in going into every deal with eyes wide open. Meaning, we want you to be aware of every potential concern with a property, but beyond concerns that may exist at the property level, we want you to be clued in on the general pitfalls that exist in the CRE world. 

Our team has checkpoints for each of these pitfalls in our diligence process, but awareness and education can better inform your investment decision. It can help you ask the right questions. Review this webinar where we discuss how you can avoid the major CRE pitfalls.

Why Not Just Buy a Bunch of Residential Properties?

One of the most common questions we get is: Why wouldn’t I just buy $1-5M worth of residential properties and rent those out?

The answer has to do with scale. 

• 1 Commercial Property could produce $200,000 per year of income for you
• At $300 per month per door, you would need 56 doors of residential property to earn that same $200,000. 

That’s somewhere between 15 and 56 transactions that you would need to close to accumulate that level of income. 

That’s sourcing 15 to 56 deals. That’s managing 15 to 56 properties. That’s collecting rents on 15 to 56 properties. 

Imagine instead having 1 property where the tenant is responsible for maintenance, their rent is guaranteed by a corporation, and they’ve signed a 15 year lease with 3% rent bumps every single year… That’s the power of Commercial Real Estate.
