@Bob Asad too big of a spread for my taste.

Here are some considerations for commercial real estate:Higher Income Potential: Commercial properties often generate higher rental income compared to residential properties, especially in prime locations.Longer Leases: Commercial leases tend to be longer (5-10 years or more), providing more stable cash flow and less frequent turnover.Tenant Diversity: Depending on the property type, you can diversify your tenant base, spreading risk across multiple businesses or corporations.Market Dynamics: Commercial real estate can be more sensitive to economic cycles and local market conditions, requiring a deeper understanding of business trends and tenant industries.Purchasing: Generally, commercial real estate will require 20% down.Choosing Between the Two:When deciding between commercial and residential real estate, consider these factors:Investment Goals: Are you looking for steady rental income, long-term appreciation, or both?

There is a huge spread in the recommendations on this thread.

Once we build the relationship everything is just flowing.It'll work, but in California it may be harder because you got to factor above average appreciation so your spread between with lower downpayments/higher DTI and A to B, then again A to D may be really hard. 

Personally, I like that it’s a bit more spread out and the views from the pool areas are very nice.

@Michelle Borg I moved to the Philly suburbs in 2016 in order to develop my investment portfolio and have since spread out to multiple states.

I can put in all the criteria I want and it will narrow down my results as it should - but as soon as I specify # of bedrooms it drops down to zero.

These mortgage bonds trade with a spread, or higher amount of rate/return needed, versus the Treasury bonds to account for the higher risks.

I haven’t narrowed down beyond that yet though as I know each has diverse areas.

Then pursue a refinance to pull out your renovation costs, or sell when the market allows a larger spread between costs and selling price.The key is finding the right markets and deals that make economic sense for your flipping model.
