Why do you invest in commercial (instead of residential)?
I just wanted to get people's opinion here.
Residential has numerous advantages - easy to find tenants, Fannie Mae offering long term loans, etc. It's fairly hands off if you find a good property manager.
Why do you invest in commercial real estate? I assume you believe returns will be higher - why?
One thing I see is a lower downpayment, since many deals include seller financing.
