How can I evaluate an off market potential commercial investment?

[Eric Thornton]

Hello,

I am a new investor looking to make my first commercial RE investment.  After working with an agent of a little over a year, I have been unable to find a suitable investment property as most in my area are which are listed are overpriced for investment.  I am now looking at off market properties and still have a commercial agent  who can get information for me.  That said, I'd like to evaluate properties myself.  Any advice regarding resources to evaluate and assess the value of a prospective property would be appreciated.  I've looked at the calculators on Bigger Pockets but they all seem geared towards properties that are listed and/or already have a selling price.

Thanks,
Eric
