It seems like commercial deals are for the more advanced professional players and companies that specialize in that arena specifically.

I own 3.5 acres right next to the Graton Casino.. just got brought into the city and the north city specific plan ..

A lot of times with the REIAs it's not about what they are pitching, it's meeting the people in the room and seeing who the real players are.

In other words, speak to the "players on the field," to find out what is really happening in the game.

The title company is another player than can view it as risky and decide to not insure it. 

I paid for coaching to help teach me how to run a property management business I interviewed 3 major players in the multi-family coaching space and interviewed their students.

As cool as it is to hear about the big players landing the multi-million dollar deals, it's not always relatable! 

Nobody wants to fiddle with a DVD player or flip stations.

Typically they are the bigger players in the market and charge a premium.

@Bob Galivan  - great points. a) POS can eat your estimated buy in for sure unless you are well cash capitalized on the buy side b) spot on c) very good guidance, especially for 1st timers or out of state players d) AND EVEN WITH inspections....you easily add a $10-25K repair tab turkey bomb expense to your portfolio.
