Looking for advice.

[Illya Kravchenko]

I am looking for some advice on where to start. I am a Journeyman lineman by trade and have been saving capital and learning about real estate for quite some time now. I have good income and minimal debt. I am ready to start investing and make a move but I feel like I'm all over the place with ideas and I'm having a hard time coming down to one goal/strategy. Living in WA isn't exactly the best at finding local deals that cash flow and I understand that today's market is not what it was ten years ago. I guess my question is how realistic is it to find and lock in a commercial rental property out of state these days comparing to residential multi family that is  also out of state? I understand that it is a big difference between residential single family or multifamily to that of a commercial scale rental. The idea of pursuing lets say an 8 unit rental comparing to a duplex seems  to make more sense to me.
