Is renting single family properties just as challenging as owning a commercial property? Is obtaining either similar or does commercial invest have more moving parts to it? Is starting off REI head first into commercial properties more riskier ?

@Julian Rivera

"Commercial proprieties" include many different asset classes; office, retail, self-storage, 5+ multifamily, industrial etc. What asset class are you referring to? The main real difference for a beginner with commercial is that there are no FHA 3.5% down payment programs for commercial properties. That is a great benefit for starting with 1-4 unit properties.
