Real estate actually takes access to capital and/or credit. 

I found a really nice brick building with 12 apartments, 3 commercial business units and some garages.

With land investing/flipping becoming more democratized/accessible  (so many landed courses, tools, resources etc), current prices/RE trends etc, is it still worth getting into land investing/flipping for a brand new RE investor ?

Proximity to Major Northeastern CitiesBuffalo’s location near major urban centers like New York City and Boston makes it an attractive alternative for buyers seeking more affordable housing without sacrificing access to urban amenities.5.

Wiring for special purpose equipment would be like having to install 250V wiring to run a commercial walk-in freezer. 

If you have no experience in commercial real estate, much less mobile home park management, this is an intricate business not well-suited for out-of-state when you are getting started.

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

The downer is that financing through an LLC would mean “commercial loan” which has a high interest rate of nearly 9% in today’s high rate environment.

If that's what you're really after I would start with the basics of what kind of bank loans either residential or commercial are available to you - not saying this is the best option, but it's a good place to start.

Commercial financing is 100% different (and easier lol)!
