Breaking Free From the Golden Handcuffs to Full Time CRE with TJ Burns

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 04:00:00 -0700

TJ Burns originally worked for a start-up which was purchased by Amazon, causing him to become an Amazon employee. He eventually quit Amazon working as an engineer and broke free from the proverbial golden handcuffs. We're talking six figure salary and six figure annual bonuses. A lot of people in real estate aspire to quit their W-2 in order to pursue real estate full-time, and in this conversation we talk pretty extensively about TJ's mindset and his preparation into what helped him make his decision to quit a high paying tech job and strike out on his own. We continue to talk about his multiple funds, why he chose to go to the fund route instead of individual deals, why he's focused on doing relatively small deals and how he's finding passive investors today.

The future of the office asset class includes a focus on higher-end spaces, conversions to hotels, and the development of residential areas in downtown.

In this conversation, Jonathan and Chad discuss the different types of industrial real estate, the addition of industrial outdoor storage (IOS) to consider, the importance of power, doors, and clear height, the opportunities in small bay industrial, and where Chad sees industrial heading into the future.

Connect with Chad:
https://www.youtube.com/@industrialize

Takeaways

Most investors should stay away from investing in industrial real estate due to the high level of risk and the steep learning curve involved.
Investors interested in industrial real estate should spend time understanding the market and consider partnering with someone experienced in the industry.
Industrial real estate can be categorized into subcategories such as warehousing, manufacturing, flex buildings, and industrial outdoor storage (iOS).
The current state of the industrial market cycle varies for different subcategories, with warehousing experiencing a slowdown and manufacturing seeing an increase in activity.
The attributes that make industrial properties attractive to tenants include location, power requirements, ceiling heights, column spacing, truck access, and yard space. Ceiling heights and door sizes are important considerations in industrial real estate, with 18 feet being the recommended minimum height and 14 feet being the minimum door size.
Flex spaces offer opportunities for creative build-outs and can accommodate a variety of uses, including office and retail.
Industrial outdoor storage (IOS) can be a viable investment, but it requires careful consideration of factors such as location, infrastructure, and tenant turnover.
Having a strong online presence and providing valuable content can help build a community and create opportunities in the real estate industry.
Long-term outlook and the ability to weather economic downturns are important factors to consider when investing in real estate.

Branding is more important than ever in the commercial real estate industry, as consumers are becoming more sophisticated and can easily identify authentic experiences.
The role of a Chief Creative Officer in real estate private equity is to oversee the creative aspects of a property, including merchandising, leasing, marketing, and environmental design.
Case study: Ovation Hollywood. The project involved reimagining a retail property in Hollywood to create a place that meets the expectations of visitors and reflects the history and culture of the area.
Experiential retail is a growing trend that combines entertainment and dining experiences with retail spaces. Landlords need to be flexible and think holistically to attract the right tenants and create engaging environments.
Lessons learned: Resiliency and flexibility are crucial in the real estate industry. Landlords and developers should be open to adapting their strategies and staying positive in the face of challenges.
Successful branding examples: Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach, which was designed to create a charming seaside village atmosphere that attracts high-end tenants.
Mistakes in experiential retail: Plugging a hole with any tenant is not the solution. Landlords need to take a holistic approach and consider design, placemaking, and branding to create authentic and engaging spaces.
Accomplishments and lessons learned: The ability to navigate challenges and stay positive is a significant accomplishment in the real estate industry. Resilience and a flexible mindset are key to long-term success.

Zero Debt Class B Industrial Deals in Chicago with Joel Friedland

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0600

In this episode, Jonathan talks with Joel Friedland of Brit Properties. Joel invests in small, Class B industrial properties in Chicago, Illinois. The two discuss how the Great Financial Crisis shaped Joel's investing, why Joel does most deals with zero debt, and why you might just meet your next passive investor at the cleaners.

Joel has a 42 year track record in industrial real estate. He co-founded Epic/Savage Realty Partners in 1991 where he oversaw hiring and mentoring 60 industrial real estate professionals, many of whom became his partners. His group sold the firm to an international real estate company in 2014 and Joel started Brit Properties.

As an industrial real estate broker and owner, Joel has secured over 2,000 industrial property leases and sales, totaling over $2 billion in brokerage volume and $250 million in acquisitions. His greatest accomplishment is maintaining valued relationships with brokers, tenants and investors spanning five decades. He does fully syndicated deals, often with 0% debt, an unheard of approach in real estate which caters to his wealthy investor base primarily concerned with conservation of principal.
