Catching Knives: A Guide to Investing in Distressed Commercial Real Estate

Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even when the blood is your own. - Baron Rothschild

Almost every decade, in every recession, you have the chance to change your life.

Big returns. Passive income. Financial freedom. Even investors with little experience in commercial real estate can learn how to seize the moment of a distressed market and create a life of freedom. In Catching Knives, twenty-year investment veteran Jake Harris helps you take the first steps to smart investing when distress makes commercial real estate a bargain buy. After becoming a millionaire before thirty, Jake found himself overextended, with massive debt, in the middle of a monumental recession. But he emerged stronger than before by building a new foundation for a different kind of portfolio—one that leveraged distressed market opportunities.

Packed with practical advice and personal anecdotes, this is your guidebook for embracing the next economic downturn and navigating the risk of distressed investing. With the right strategy, you can be one of the few who lean into hard times, make the most of them, and take advantage of once-in-a-generation opportunities.

JAKE HARRIS is the founder and managing partner of a private equity real estate firm that has managed, developed, and acquired more than $200 million in assets under management in the last five years alone. Jake has a master’s degree in international real estate and is a licensed California broker and recognized expert in opportunity zones, infill development, construction cost-control systems, and the scaling of distressed investing business.
