Rule summary
- No Self-Promotion or Advertising: This includes promoting your business, services, website, podcast, social media, or any other form of solicitation. Violations will result in removal and may lead to a permanent ban.
- No Newbie career advice: This sub is focused on commercial real estate investing and operations—not job hunting or “how do I break into the industry?” questions. Use career-oriented subs for those discussions.
- I have $_____, what should I buy?: These low-effort posts are routinely removed. If you're asking for advice, provide context, goals, asset type, market, and strategy.
- Commercial Real Estate Only (5+ Units): This sub is for true commercial real estate topics. Questions about single-family rentals, house hacks, or duplexes belong in r/realestateinvesting.
- Post Quality: Posts must be focused, specific, and relevant to commercial real estate. Low-effort or off-topic posts will be removed. A minimum of 50 characters is required to help maintain quality discussion.
Works well
- A discussion about a specific trend in industrial asset leasing in a named market, sharing what you are seeing and asking others for their take.
- A detailed question about multifamily operations, including your goals, asset type, market, and strategy, with no mention of any product or service.
- A post about a challenge in office or retail acquisition, grounded in real numbers and context, inviting professionals to share how they handle it.
Avoid
- Do not mention your company, product, service, website, podcast, or social media anywhere in the post or comments.
- Do not ask how to break into the industry or seek career advice.
- Do not post about single-family rentals, house hacks, or duplexes.
- Do not write a post shorter than 50 characters.
- Do not ask a vague question like what should I buy without providing context, goals, asset type, market, and strategy.
What r/CommercialRealEstate Is For
This community is for investors, operators, and professionals who want to discuss commercial real estate. That includes office, retail, industrial, multifamily with five or more units, hospitality, land, and special purpose assets. People come here to talk about acquisition, development, leasing, operations, and market trends. It is not a place for residential real estate or career questions.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that matters most for any founder or marketer is "No Self-Promotion or Advertising." It bans promoting your business, services, website, podcast, social media, or any other form of solicitation, and it says violations may lead to a permanent ban. Beyond that, "Post Quality" requires at least 50 characters and removes low-effort or off-topic posts. The rule "I have $_____, what should I buy?" removes vague investment questions that lack context, goals, asset type, market, and strategy. "Commercial Real Estate Only (5+ Units)" keeps residential topics out. "No Newbie career advice" pushes job hunting questions elsewhere.
What To Post
A good post here is a focused, specific question or discussion about commercial real estate that helps the community. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, your best move is to share genuine operational insight from your space, like a challenge in industrial leasing or a trend in multifamily operations, without ever naming your company or linking to anything. Give enough context that readers learn something and can reply with their own experience. Make sure your post is at least 50 characters long and tied to a real asset type or market trend.
What To Avoid
Do not promote anything. The rule "No Self-Promotion or Advertising" is blunt and says violations may lead to a permanent ban. Do not ask how to break into the industry or look for career advice, because the rule "No Newbie career advice" removes those posts. Do not post about single-family rentals, house hacks, or duplexes, since the rule "Commercial Real Estate Only (5+ Units)" sends those to r/realestateinvesting. Do not write a post shorter than 50 characters, because the rule "Post Quality" will remove it. Do not ask a vague question like what should I buy without providing context, goals, asset type, market, and strategy, because the rule "I have $_____, what should I buy?" removes low-effort posts like that.
