One being the actual function of the business (restaurant, hair salon, boutique, etc).

With all the recent anti-landlord Seattle legislation, the attorneys are pulling their hair out.

Lots of cash flow, great returns, but the headaches and management will make you tear your hair out.Understand what you're getting into and you'll make plenty of money, demand is there in almost every single market.

Target size strip malls, or office space, or NNN, or Pads, or etc...Or are you talking about things like a stand alone building with a hair salon, or similar in it along side of a major road.[2] What can you afford to do Down-payment-wise, in an MMA maybe only a 7/11 strip mall, in a medium sized area maybe a larger bite of the chocolate bar than the 7/11 mall.[3] Do you want partners on deals, (same on all, different on some), must you have partners on deals (loan qualifications, personal weak spots, etc...)[4] How will you swing the bat at financing; do you qualify for the financing your deals will need, will you need others to help you qualify, do you now these people vs risking someone who will make your life miserable and you will hate working with (an unfortunate situation). [5] Do you want to work government handout money for fix up real estate, is there any that looks profitable right now.[6] How well do you know commercial real estate "Stuff"; such as can you identify a 400 amp service panel from an 800 amp service panel, can you identify an electrical transformer that you own from those owned by the utility, what is a plenum, does your building have them, what are those big red pipes with wheel handles on them, hidden behind the bushes (who do they belong to), how long does asphalt last in a commercial lot, and etc...Good Luck!

One of the commercial tenants is a hair salon, and one of the residential is a 3 bedroom with a large family living there, the other 3 residential are efficiencies. 

The normal guidelines for conventional financing do require 25% down payment so it just depends if the lender you're going to has access or know how to do the correct programs for your house hacking strategy.The conventional program with 5% down is best when fico scores are 720 or higher, while FHA, the later, is best for scenarios where there is more hair on the deal (credit issues, lower scores, income in consistency, etc,etc).Hope that helps.

Bedroom #3 had been turned into a commercial space at one time (an at-home hair salon) and needed some work to return it to a bedroom (remove water lines, etc).3.
