#56: Lessons Learned from a $2.3 Million Building Purchase (Part 1)

Welcome to another episode of The AC Method, this time from the new studio. Aaron discusses the twists and turns of commercial real estate. Get ready for a no-holds-barred look at everything from environmental headaches and the maze that is dealing with financial institutions to the unexpected things tenants do—like leaving early and swiping furniture (but hey, silver linings, right?).We've got a tale of cash, courage, and close calls, including that wild sprint to the escrow finish line. We’ll share the ups and downs of securing that elusive perfect building, along with the pricey pitfalls ($714K... Yikes!) and SBA loan labyrinths we never expected to navigate.And, because we love spotlighting the movers and shakers out there, we tip our hats to Wendy Graves with Make it Happen Signage Academy for championing women in science.📱 SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram |  https://www.instagram.com/theacmethod/YouTube |  https://www.youtube.com/@ACMethodFacebook       | facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063971505812TikTok |  https://www.tiktok.com/@squarecoilLinkedIn |  https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronclippinger/Want to know more about Aaron?
