Residential or Commercial?

[N/A N/A]

I see a lot of talk about renters and landlords etc... but isn't commercial real estate a lot easier to manage? The tenants are businesses and usually have less need. Also there is usually a property manager (at least for larger commercial properties).

So why would anyone prefer the residential market? Is it strictly because of cost (the residential world can be cheaper).

Just curious.
