Investment Opportunity or Money Pit

[Ryan Metcalf]

I am considering a 2 unit commercial property.  The roof has about 3 years of useful life left and the HVAC system has about 5 years left.  Additionally, one of the tenants has been there for over 35 years.  When they eventually move out I will have to update that space and bring it up to code.

This property is going to require constant investment for the next 5 years.  Is this an opportunity worth pursuing?  What should I be thinking about and considering?

This would be my first commercial property.
