I am looking to build my portfolio and expand into commercial investments. 

Are you investing in mobile homes, commercial triple net, or multi family?

DownTown Pueblo has a lot of beauty and potential, but there are a lot of vacancies when it comes to commercial buildings, there is not much variety for restaurants, coffee shops, shopping districts, etc.I don't see AirBNB being the best right now, but who knows.

I'm really interested in creative financing, some rentals, and commercial real estate.

I've used VA, Fannie, FHA , a commercial lender and they required extensive docs. my bank statement loans, DSCR, and Seller finance didn't require that much docs. 

Just a heads up.So you calculated out you need  $6 million worth of apartments to hit your goal.A commercial loan may require 20% to 30% down in cash, cash reserves, working capital, and closing costs.You will also need earnest money cash.The lender may also require certain repairs to be done Shortly after the loan is made.The lender may also require the Property to be stabilized as far as occupancy percentage is concerned, leaving little on the bone as far as sweat equity.Good Luck!

You can house hack a mixed-use commercial property with an owner-occupied loan (and FHA) if the residential square footage is 51% or more.

Preferably Canadian and some commercial experience.

The lot would be great for a condominium but I don't know where to start looking for a multi unit / commercial builder.

You need a great commercial agent on your team, a cpa who specializes in land development, a great architect, a surveyor who can do your short plats, a great dirt and underground utility guy, and a great permit specialist.
