Starting a family office sounds like something reserved for billionaires, but the truth is the “family office mindset” kicks in way earlier than most people realize. If you are sitting on a meaningful liquidity event, a paid off asset, or even a few million in deployable cash, you are already in the zone where strategy matters more than hustle. The problem is most investors hit that point and keep buying deals the same way they always have, reactive, scattered, and without a real portfolio blueprint. That is how wealth gets built, and quietly leaks.
What separates families who compound for generations from those who stall out is not access to deals. It is structure. How you hold assets, how you protect them, how you finance them, and how you balance stability with upside. The goal is not just to grow your net worth. It is to build a machine that preserves it, produces cash flow, and stays aligned with what your family actually wants long term.
In today’s breakdown, we cover:
• How family offices really structure ownership and liability
• The portfolio mix that keeps cash flow steady while still creating growth
• Why single tenant net lease can act like “bonds” inside your CRE strategy
• How to think about debt relationships, 1031 timing, and long term holds
If you are serious about turning a strong balance sheet into lasting generational wealth, this is where the game changes.
Let’s dive in.

341. How Do You Handle Vacant Big Box Suites? | Office Hours
After taking the summer to recharge, Office Hours is back—and we’re diving straight into one of the biggest opportunities in commercial real estate: vacant big box suites.
If you’ve ever driven past a shuttered anchor tenant and wondered what’s next for that space, this episode breaks it down. Tyler walks through the anatomy of a 30,000-square-foot former Big Lots—what to look for, how to evaluate build-out costs, and the smartest ways to reimagine these oversized vacancies.
We also share updates from inside the CRE Accelerator, including our new 30 Deals in 30 Days Challenge (yes, you can join for free), plus a sneak peek at a first-of-its-kind trade school for commercial real estate investors, brokers, and developers launching next spring.
Whether you’re brokering leases, underwriting deals, or dreaming up your next value-add play, this week’s insights will help you think bigger—literally.
