Meet Neo, your AI-powered Co-GP.
Commercial real estate (CRE) investing covers a wide field — from how deals are sourced and structured, to the metrics that separate a strong asset from a weak one, to the operating costs and risks that decide whether a deal actually performs. Whether you are a GP raising on a deal-by-deal basis, a sponsor running funds, or an LP evaluating where to commit capital, the fundamentals are the same: understand the asset, model the returns honestly, and stay close to the numbers once you own it.
This section pulls together our guides, explainers, and tools for commercial real estate investors. Use the resources below to go deeper on the topics most relevant to your next deal.
