The best keep secrets in commercial real estate with HAMZA ALI

In this episode, I sat down with Flexspace developer Hamza Ali, who built a $370 million+ portfolio in one of the most undervalued corners of commercial real estate.

Originally from Dubai, Hamza moved to the U.S. less than a decade ago and found a niche in Flex Industrial Real Estate, an asset class that most investors don’t yet understand. In fact, Hamza played a key role in promoting the term “Flexspace” itself.

We dig deep into how he chooses a website, avoids bad deals, maximizes ROI, and why he switches from selling Flexspace to holding cash flow. If you’ve ever considered commercial real estate but don’t want to deal with a sprawling apartment building or large warehouse, then Flexspace is probably exactly what you want.

You will also hear Hamza’s insights on design errors, rental strategies, fire regulations, tenant types and how to test demand in the market with Facebook ads before building.

If you are serious about building long-term wealth with asset classes with high performance, low maintenance assets, this episode will be essential.
