New Commercial Real Estate Investor

I have two residential rental properties that I enjoy very much. The time has come for me to move into the commercial market. I believe my niche is multi-family. I feel like giving someone a roof over the head is a great way to give back to the community. I am here to learn all I can and network with as many people as I can. 

My goal is to buy my first commercial property before I'm 31 (I am 29 now.)

Not true, commercial RE includes apartment building too, which is what he is referring to. Any multi-family with 5 units or above is considered commercial.
