My name is Jason and I recently found the BP podcast , forum, and community and from listening to 20 + podcast i had a fire lit under me to invest in commercial real estate . But, where do you start ? For those who are experienced in this area, how did you start and an you offer any advise .

My strategy for commercial is buy and hold and i know that i will have to put the work in to build up my skill set and i am willing to do the work

Are you long-term buy and hold? Do you care more about the cash flow now and less about the future value? Are you willing to build or renovate something? 

I've been a bull even with this virus running around, but things may end up taking a bit of a turn. You've got plenty of time to study your market and then get in on something. Check and see if your planning and zoning department posts a Vision of the future and that will help clue you in to where the current and future opportunities are.
