There is money to be made in commercial real estate and it goes to those who work hard and smart.

Robert Shemin, a wealth and real estate expert and author of The New York Times best-seller “How Come That Idiot’s Rich and I’m Not?” says real-estate investors should not expect to walk down the street and start making money.
