    Hi,

    I have been looking at purchasing another investment property but have been receiving some feedback to consider commercial property. I am new to the commercial side of investing and need an introduction to it as well as any advice. Would anyone like to help? Many Thanks.

    For me I prefer resi property investing. But that's my personal opinion, and I'm more comfortable and knowledgeable with it.

    I'd suggest learning about commercial property before you jump into it

    Commercial is a whole new game.  Your Cap Rate (commercial), which is different from a Net ROI (residential) is calculated using more detailed formulas.  It is important for you to understand how this works or a property manager can rip you off.   NOt saying they will, but it exposes you to weakness if you don't understand the deal.  We do a lot of multi family commercial.  I don't typically do retail or office.  I am more big on multi-family.  There are some great deals out there.
