How You Can Unlock More Cash Flow with Mixed-Use Properties

In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we dive into a niche strategy that’s been gaining traction across real estate portfolios: mixed-use properties. We’re talking about storefronts with apartments above, office-residential hybrids, live-work lofts, and beyond, and why these hybrid properties can unlock multiple income streams, increased flexibility, and long-term cash flow.
We break down the biggest advantages (and challenges), walk through real-life examples, and share creative strategies to make these properties a cornerstone of your portfolio without getting overwhelmed.
Whether you’re managing retail below or tenants upstairs, this is your guide to turning a single investment into a multi-dimensional asset.
Quotables
“With mixed-use, you’re never relying on just one tenant stream—your property works harder for you.”
“That commercial-residential balance lets you hedge against economic shifts in either sector.”
“Triple net leases reduce your landlord headaches while keeping cash flowing.”
