Cashflow is minimal at first, usually enough to pay for the occasional repair and you are paying close to retail price. 

So in N Chatt a lot can easily run 150k-200k and you have to build a 1MM+ retail house to make it worth your while.

Scott Scheel has a good course about commercial real estate, but he concentrates more on apartment investing in his course while he is actively buying retail buildings and not apartments.The loan default rate on apartments is 58%, so before you buy an apartment building think why is it so high.Another avenue to consider is mini storages if you want to own real estate, the default rate is only 16%.

I would recommend reading Sam Walton: Made in America, it demonstrates how he build the largest retailer in the world by delegating responsibilities.
