Description

On this week’s episode of Beyond Multifamily, Ash Patel and Amanda Cruise interview Adam Craig. Adam shares how he transitioned from single-family investing into commercial real estate, specializing in heavy lift office and mixed-use projects across the Cleveland market. He walks through the lessons learned from a 30,000-square-foot rehab that tested his patience and capital, then contrasts it with a more recent success—transforming a vacant dentist office into profitable salon suites. Adam also opens up about his funding partnerships, systemizing his property management, and how strategic rehabs and BRRRR-style refinancing have built long-term cash flow and equity across his portfolio.
