I have residential and commercial building experience for 14 years.  

The rising insurance cost coupled with falling condo prices are affecting the non-condo residential RE.  

St Croix is larger and more residential than touurist, however.

Then you can really sell that experience too compared to a purely residential on. 

Most of the major residential brokerages are members.

Will there be residential/SFH development west of Sloan/SW of Enterprise/spring Valley areas?

Begin your 'pre qualification' process for the acquisition now (most commercial lenders won't issue a PreQual but rather a LOI) In general, Commercial transactions can take longer due to extended due diligence, appraisal, environmental reports and financing (60+ days) so you'll want to initiate your search during the marketing of the down leg as it can cause a tighter timeline than a residential transaction. 

Also turns your typical residential property into a cash flowing asset.

Second, if you are renting to a company then you need to diligence the company and its ability to pay and abide by the lease terms, just like a residential tenant.

@Henry Clark"If you were in a new construction syndication and got caught with a 300% increase in Lumber costs due to Trump applying Tariffs to Canada for anti dumping, and then Covid shut down both the logging and Lumber Mill industries in Canada I can understand getting nailed.
