I have commercial clients that buy different types from value add to fully performing.Even fully performing there could be other value like it comes with a commercial parcel for putting a strip center on or the occupancy rents per sq ft are half of going market.You can do well with commercial though it takes more cash.

I am a new investor, I flipped 2 properties with my own money over the last year and a half.

That was our goal and I do have 5 summer, and half school year internships that pay about 12k each one so I can pay bulk if needed. 3.

More than one-half of the personal services you perform during the year in all trades or businesses are performed in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participate.

That adjustment is something like half to a quarter of the average $/sq.ft. 

And Jody I don't know the half about the podcast.

Cash flowed as soon as I fixed it up, and increased $100K in equity in a year and a half. 3 of the 4 properties I have purchased in the Bay cash flow well, including one purchased a few months ago.

Being one half owner of a small house bought by 2 guys who probably had less than a thousand dollars in the bank. 

The owner lost the house to the bank, but he still rented this house to a tenant for another one and half years.

Half of Americans cannot even earn $46,000 in one year!
