I was recently exploring a two-story commercial building for sale on a corner in a growing downtown area.

Check out recent sales in the area to get a sense of pricing and comps.

What I usually see is that they start with the average $/sq.ft of the sales price in the area.

You could house hack and use the other portion to AirBnb as then you meet the primary residence requirement in B.C.

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?

Your new ARV(after repair value) should be supported by an adequate amount of comparable sales in the area(duplex's).

I do generally agree with the sentiment of Austin and the other hosts that fundamentals will always win out in the long run, and this by nature is a long term industry, even the sales side I'm learning.
