By reviewing sponsor after sponsor, and deal after deal to uncover what sets apart the good from the bad. 

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

It is more complex and has added requirements such as a formal set of books just like a corporation. 

Yes, you bought what seems like a good deal on paper, but in reality, you own an old apartment building in a neighborhood with poor security, possibly surrounded by long-vacant shops, streets piled with garbage, and a poorly managed community.

I'm looking around to find some investors to take it from me and just feel a little lost with dispo, i want to make my deals super sweet sugar coated cherry on top for all my investors on my list so what i ask is if you can rip apart this deal for me and make sure i have enough meat on the bone for my investors, below are the statsFirst off address, 1011 Richard Bell Ave Perry FLPurchase price $110,000Seller says the bank is willing to let go of mortgage for $91,000ARV $180,000-$200,000Needs new roof (20 years old) and central ac system went down about a year ago (around 4k for 3 ton ac)Ive been in roofing for about 2 years and im estimating the roof will cost between 18k-20kI take constructive and negative criticism very well and i only want to improve, no opinions are unwelcome i want full scrutiny with this deal please. 

That drive is what sets apart winners in this game. 

This puts the current market rents of $885–$925 per unit well within the affordable range, with room for modest increases post-renovation.I’ve also reviewed competing properties in the area; apartments seem to be listed between 975 -1000, and houses are listed between 1300-1900.

Actually the IRS does not tell us what we can invest in, only what is disallowed (life insurance contracts and collectibles).Allowable investments for SDIRA investing include the following:Residential real estate, including: apartments, single family homes, and duplexesCommercial real estate Undeveloped or raw landREITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)Real estate notes (mortgages and deeds of trusts)Promissory notes Private limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and C corporationsTax lien certificatesOil and gas investmentsPrivate stock offerings, private placementsJudgments/structured settlementsGold bullion Factoring investments

I am excited to be a part of the BiggerPockets community!

I do try to get a full size stove and ovens in any unit possible as opposed to the smaller apartment sized ones.
