Commercial Real Estate Market in Madison, Wisconsin

[Douglass Belt]

Investing in the residential market (1-4 units) in Madison, WI is rather pricey and hard to break into without significant cash up front, which makes the ROI & cash flow poor up front. I am wondering on the commercial side of things if anyone has experience or thoughts if it is the same difficulty to break into? Are they priced high too? (Retail strip centers, large office buildings, etc.). No doubt an investor would need more $$ for down payment and reserves for this type of property, but I have no idea how to value properties for sale if they are overpriced in the area. Does anyone have experience in the area on Commercial Buildings in the Madsion area? Any feedback and/or suggestions is appreciated.
