How to Start

[Jason Merchey]

I have a little bit of knowledge about residential, but was thinking of liquidating some stock from the retirement account and diversify into commercial. Anyone have any book they particularly like, or know of any commercial investing 101 kind of program or seminar or coach?

My highest recommendation is the Dealmakers Guide  by Ray Alcorn. It is a guru type course in a binder. It will set you back about $500 but it is outstanding.

The CCIM program is the best education you can get for commercial. Even just their 1-2 day intro course many find eye opening. But that may be more than you want to start with. 

 I like Dave Lindahl, as a guru he is one of the better ones. His book Multifamily Millions is very good. I wrote about it on my website.
