Been looking to get in the game for a little while now and ran across a potential investment by pure luck.Was originally looking at single family residential to start out with rentals.Commercial deal came in to our laps:$310,000 purchase price4 retail store fronts(3 rented to a cafe, 1 to a boutique)2 apartments rented out upstairs1 vacant apartment upstairs(biggest of the 3 residentials).

They’re smaller, boutique but do amazing custom builds!

@Alex Tokmazeyskiy - I think it really depends on your needs as an agent and how exactly you plan to use your license.If you plan on becoming a full-time agent and making it your sole source of income, I'd probably suggest linking up with one of the bigger firms (Coldwell Banker, Baird & Warner, Keller Williams) with properly structured training.If you are looking to just use your license as an investor, then maybe finding a smaller boutique broker with lower commissions is the way to go.

The brokerage I work out is more on the boutique side.

I'm a solo agent in a boutique brokerage and the broker has excellent communication and experience.

Purchase price: $390,000 Cash invested: $78,000 Duplex west of the 5, close to restaurants, cafes, and boutiques.

The US Naval Academy Alumni sold this portfolio of 3 properties with combined 12,000 sf. of space, it will be converted to a boutique historic inn that will have 20 suites.

Walk to the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean or numerous boutiques nearby.

The goal of the deal is to provide cash flow rather than a huge return on exit.For a starter boutique fund, I was thinking about capping at 5 million, doing a 7% pref with an 80/20 split.
