Hello Michael,

To be honest I haven't narrowed down what a good niche might be for me.The little knowledge I have is related to self storage and mobile home parks,but I'd like to learn about all types of property.

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the group. There's good money to be made by purchasing the right mobile parks and self storage facilities. Your knowledge may be worth more than you think.

Welcome Tom,

I am pretty new here myself, but I have 20 years experience consulting on commercial real estate. First thing you need is focus. Most successful commercial investors stay in one property type, like office buildings. The reason is that experience makes every acquisition easier and if you have several properties in the same market, then you can spread the expenses, such as purchasing power for building supplies, legal fees if you use the same lease in all your properties, management fees...and the list goes on. You also need to make sure you get on the radar screen of commercial brokers so they think of you when they get a listing. Good luck.
