Manufacturing Money and Warehousing Wealth with Industrial Real Estate Expert Chad Griffiths

SmartStay Show Podcast cover

We’ve hit the big 5-0…. that’s Episode 50 (we haven’t quite hit that milestone with our age yet!) And we have an amazing guest and discussion for our golden anniversary episode.

In this episode, we are speaking with Chad Griffiths, who specializes as an industrial real estate broker since 2005 and an investor since 2014.

Admittedly, this is our first deep-dive on the subject of industrial real estate, and Chad taught us a ton about this asset class, a mystery to most single- and multi-family investors.

Industrial real estate can be everything from a small 2,000 square foot warehouse that houses a specific type of product (seafood, for example) all the way up to 1 million+ square foot manufacturing facilities (such as Boeing’s factory) or large warehouses (think every Amazon distribution center that you see off the interstate).

Chad usually breaks industrial real estate into two main sub-categories:

  1. Manufacturing properties
  2. Warehousing properties
  3. Miscellaneous properties (also known as Flex properties)

Things we discussed in this episode:

– How Chad discovered industrial real estate

– The general lack of resources for education on the space compared to residential

– What exactly is industrial real estate?

– Who should invest in the industrial real estate space (think patient and long-term)

– How labor intensive is being an industrial real estate landlord?

– The versatility of industrial real estate spaces

– How does an investor finance an industrial property?

– Vacancy risks for industrial space

– How are the returns on investment?

– What should a new investor do before buying industrial real estate?

– Why you should always look at properties as though they were vacant

– Advice for agents interested in going into the industrial space
