Flex space is heating up while most investors are still looking the other way. Headlines talk about industrial slowing, but small bay units between 2,000 and 6,000 square feet are leasing faster than they hit the market. Even older buildings in average locations are getting multiple offers. Years of underbuilding and redevelopment wiped out supply, yet the businesses that rely on these spaces never disappeared. Demand stayed strong. Inventory didn’t.
Developers chased massive distribution centers all through the 2010s, leaving a gap that electricians, e-commerce shops, fabricators and startups are now fighting to fill. That shift turned flex space into one of the tightest and most approachable asset classes in CRE.
In today’s breakdown, we cover:
• Why small bay supply collapsed and demand surged
• How logistics trends reshaped industrial development
• What makes flex space ideal for new CRE investors
• How to assess demand and structure projects the right way
If you want to understand where the next real opportunity is in commercial real estate, flex space deserves your attention. Let’s dive in.

335. Turning ABANDONED Buildings into GOLD (No Experience Needed)

335. Turning ABANDONED Buildings into GOLD (No Experience Needed)
Most investors drive past abandoned buildings and see a mess. I see money.
In this video, I’ll show you how to turn boarded-up, forgotten buildings into serious profit — even if you’ve never done a commercial real estate deal before.
Over the past few years, I’ve repositioned more than $75 million in neglected and underperforming properties — from a 12,000 sq. ft. abandoned office building in South Nashville, to a 9-story vacant tower in Chattanooga, to a caved-in roof project here in East Nashville that’s already generated $600K in equity before construction even started.
You’ll learn:
Why abandoned buildings are the best-kept secret in commercial real estate
The 3-part framework I use to separate money pits from gold mines
How to find upside using zoning, incentives, and local demand
Real examples of deals I’ve done — including one that went from $400K purchase to over $1M in value without a single tenant
This isn’t about flipping houses or buying turnkey properties. It’s about creating value where others see failure — and building long-term wealth through commercial real estate.
