The only reason I got an LLC was to buy a commercial property because it was a requirement of the lender.

This will cost you $3-$4K, depending on your state, and will allow you access to the MLS.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

We found an opportunity to purchase a huge SFR with two kitchens located next to a commercial zone which was previously used as a sober living facility.

If the original tenant wants to claim their belongings, they must pay any unpaid rent, plus the cost of moving and storage, then I will give them access to pick up their belongings.

I'll work on a old house any day over a new one, much easier to access everything, at least in my cases.

You can also find commercial brokers that are in that space and build the relationship.

He also used to take land that wasn’t valuable as is and get it re-zoned for residential/commercial, draw up blueprints and sell the vision.
