They are not necessary mutually exclusive, in that, you do not need to pick only one.I, for one, am a buy-and-hold investor.I have one commerical property.

This includes commerical as well as residential real estate.

=$380000 all-in cost 6.5% 20 year loan $380K commerical = $2981.00 a month Gross Rents = $7166 a month ($86,000/12 months) Expenses (50% rule)= $3583 NOI = $3583 Debt Service = 2981 Cash flow = $602 a month, or $30.10 a unit Most guys on here recommend $100 a month per door.

With all we know, we have been very hesitant to go further into commerical.

Commerical loan to buy and refi 8 months after purchase and rehab was complete.

Im in Fort Myers Florida and work with investment buyers in residental as well as Commerical

okay so i dont know much about rentals or commerical property. but once i save enough capital thats the plan.so here is my plan, does it work?

Hi everyone,I'm considering (using the term very loosely) venturing into the commerical real estate market.

There are matrices on here as well that show the max LTV and min credit score needed depending on what kind of property and type of loan. https://www.fanniemae.com/content/guide/selling/b2...https://www.fanniemae.com/content/guide/selling/b2...https://www.fanniemae.com/content/eligibility_info...Ok....learing everyday.....I was told with my investment properties I always had to go commerical loans....and not fannie loans. 

There is some great information available and you can learn about techniques used by the mentors and you got BiggerPockets to ask questions...soooo..do not hesitate...get a book or two on the topics you want..flipping..commerical properties..analysis of deals...real estate creative financing....etc....take a couple of hours a day a note book to write your thoughts on and questions and go for it.
