Ep #92: Ray Alcorn shares the lessons he has learned from his 35+ years as a CRE investor with more than $250 million in transactions under his belt.

Our guest for this week’s show is commercial real estate investor and developer, Ray Alcorn. I have studied Ray’s teachings for many years and was very excited when we finally landed him as a guest on our show.  Since 1980, Ray has been active in the acquisition, sale, development, financing, and equity placement of income producing properties valued at over $250,000,000. His experience covers a wide range of real estate, including retail, office, multi-family, manufactured housing, hotel and restaurant properties.   In this show with Ray you’re going to learn:   How Ray got his start in the Real Estate business by doing various low paying jobs for his father who then owned a large mobile home retailer. Why he decided to leave the comfort of his family business at a young age to venture out and do his own development deals. The reasons why he feels that the 12 years spent on the board of his local planning commission were the years where he obtained his best real estate education. Why Ray says that you should never waiver from your investment criteria…no matter what. Why he feels that we’re on the verge of another market correction and how he plans on dealing with it. Ray shares with us his proven process of repositioning value-add office properties. What advice he would give himself if he could go back and have a conversation with himself when he was just getting started. Why he encourages new investors to get their feet wet by working for a professional property management company.
