If I want $400k a month I am in commercial real estate and luxury office in downtown area like K st dc etc.

Or figure out how projects are developed and get one "most of the way" (land leased, site planned, permitted, power purchase agreement signed) and then sell the deal to a big developer.My perspective: My W2 for the last 8 years is environmental and development consulting for oil & gas, renewables generation, transmission, and commercial RE development.

I am in the very early stages of looking at a commercial property to invest in.

You may want to consider a commercial loan or SBA loan that caters to businesses like B&Bs or hotels.

Hello All,I am a 28 year old in commercial construction (project management).

You can close in the business name/LLC here.You are not required to have your investment property in the business name, however, some lenders and bank may require it if they are a purely business purpose, lending institution who servicing companies, mandate commercial purpose only.And yes, finally you can get landlord insurance.I recommend shopping around and comparing a few quotes to get started happy to connect to talk further strategy and detail.

Single family, multi-family, commercial, land, the possibilities seem endless and the Bigger Pockets community seems like the best way to learn and connect!

I will later try to rezone as commercial like the properties on 2 sides.If the place is non-conforming, I am affraid I will never be able to refinance.Does this approach make sense?

I am a local commercial real estate agent looking to expand my network and I'd be thrilled to help you achieve your goal.
