In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, I sit down with Rich Vaaler, founder and principal of Vaaler CRE, to discuss the hidden risks of “leaving commercial property to the kids” and why simplification—not accumulation—is often the smarter legacy strategy. Rich introduces the concept of Elder CRE, explains how single-tenant absolute net lease properties create true “coupon clipper” income, and shares practical insights on 1031 exchanges, generational wealth, and protecting families from costly surprises.
