Hi all,I am trying to close a deal on a house in the Bayview to flip at market rate however the current Section 8 renter will not leave unless they can find a suitable alternative home or condo in San Francisco.

The tenant is more concerned with finding a suitable/comparable alternative place to live rather than any cash amount.

I've been wonderfully distracted, but have started to refocus:  I've registered for real estate sales classes next month, and look forward to connecting with new people on here.I feel like I'm all over the place because now that we've settled into our little house, made a number of improvements to it, we're in a position where we have over $150k in equity in the house, and real estate investing is slowly coming back into focus for me.  2 years ago, primarily out of frustration for not being able to find a primary residence, I stumbled onto Bigger Pockets and found myself looking at distressed properties and making offers on houses to flip... until I found a residence suitable for my family.  

Additional "visitors" will become a problem. 

Is commercial property suitable for a first time investor ?

You usually need to be a VIP Member to attend the Mastermind sessions, but they allow a "first time visitor" to attend...and you would qualify.  

It takes a few years just to build suitable software and legal for most people to perform these services independently.  

The marketplace has determined that it's a suitable method for pricing - otherwise, all PMs would be out of business.

-Negotiate the lease price so I could rent it to another tenant at a higher price for cash flow-Negotiate final sale price-When he finds suitable exchange property, we seal the deal -Negotiate a lease time frame - 12-24 months?

Yes, any accepted money counts as "rent" because it's implied that if you took money that you had agreed that the amount given was suitable.2.
