Two commercial facilities now run on less than 15 hours per month after the initial setup phase. The speaker moved from residential real estate to commercial properties and found the ongoing management much lighter, with high occupancy and steady cash flow.

I, at the beginning, the transition pieces and getting your facility up and running right is obviously more time-consuming than anything. But once everything's stabilized, once you have your systems in place, once the transition's complete, it really is not much work at all. So on these 2 facilities, I probably spend less than 15 hours a month managing them, and they're doing very well. And the occupancy's high, the money's coming in, and I can't complain. It's very different from my residential real estate investing life. That's for sure.
