Some CRE Moves to Make Before 2021 Ends

To help shine a light into the tunnel ahead, we asked a couple of folks with serious skin in the game this single question: What commercial real estate (CRE) moves would you recommend making before 2021 comes to an end and why? Eli Randel is chief strategy officer for Crexi, a CRE marketplace and data platform that has attracted millions of users while helping buyers, tenants, and brokers transact and lease on over 500,000 listings -- for a total of more than $1 trillion in property value -- since its founding in 2015. "For the novice, I think building a portfolio of strong REIT (real estate investment trust) investments offering dividends is a good way to beat, or at least keep up with, inflation," says Randel, who joined Crexi in 2016 after working as a director of capital markets at Cohen Financial, launching Auction.com, and serving as director of dispositions for the big single-family rental REIT Invitation Homes.
