With being part of the community, I look to expand my knowledge on real estate investing and ultimately begin investing myself.

Thanks for the advice to read, @Mark Nolan and @Ayodeji Kuponiyi — today I read about half of the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide and hoping to get through the rest tomorrow.

Investing in real estate and earning a decent passive income (not 100% passive as I have to manage) but ultimately striving to own a commercial building and multiplex residential home to rent out in the very near future.If anybody has any advice on commercial properties that would be much appreciated!
