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.
