Start with Residential before getting into commercial???

[Eric DeNardo]

Hey All, I'm a new investor (no properties yet) and I'm interested in commercial real estate specifically mixed-use, apartments, and offices. I don't have the income or savings to invest in commercial yet so I've been starting with residential properties first to get some cash on me. Is this a good strategy? Or would you recommend going straight into commercial properties? If so, how could I do that with limited income (I'm currently a grad student working part-time). Thanks!
