50% down for commercial multi family property Bay Area

[Jill Rio]

We are considering a property with two commercial spaces and two 1/1 apartments. The realtor just told me we need 50% down. Has anyone experienced this and are there any other options? Also related to this property - what are some of the businesses you would market to for higher rents? Right now these are both showrooms and the rent is low. We own one dentists office and get really good rent on that but the space does not lend itself to medical offices. Thank you!
