The Game for Real Estate Investors and Developers (previously The Investing Advantage) podcast is about what it really takes to invest in commercial real estate and real estate development hosted by Shane Melanson. In each episode we dive deep into the challenges & opportunities of investing in commercial real estate and share practical frameworks and strategies to help you succeed and cope with the inevitable ups and downs. Investing in real estate and growing a company is like playing any game. There are rules. Players. People who win and some who lose. Too many podcasts focus on the positives and shy away from what it really takes to be successful. We will analyze markets, what happens in real negotiations, raising capital, navigating regulatory hurdles and finding creative solutions to complex problems. There is No 1 Recipe for being a successful real estate investor or developer. My hope is that through my experiences you will walk away with insights into how to make better investing decisions. When I do invite guests - they are experts in their fields, and they share their wisdom and experiences playing the game of real estate in candid and informative conversations. Whether you're interested in retail, office, industrial, multifamily, or other types of commercial real estate, you'll find something of value in each episode of The Game. Join me on the journey as we explore the world of commercial real estate and help you achieve your investment goals.
