The city is in a desert so they have lots of space to build on, and the current problem is oversupply.

I own a commercial unit, and I’m trying to determine a fair rental rate for the space.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

. ;-) There is nothing false wiih what @Henry Clark said.Commercial real estate is broad - Office space, self-storage, Farm, Data centers, residential properties above 4 units, etcIt can be true that one part of commercial real estate is suffering while others is thriving.

Whether you're interested in residential properties, commercial spaces, or real estate investment trusts (REITs), there are various strategies and approaches to consider.Real estate investing also involves understanding market trends, economic indicators, and demographic shifts.

Maybe I’m being a little optimistic, but I feel like this is a good starting point for us.I’m not interested in investing outside of Orange County for our first property since we know the area really well.Networking:I’d also love to attend some real estate meetups around here and connect with people in the space.

Generally speaking, these are roughly $1500 / pier give or take depending on the crawl space height.If you need anything - feel free to reach out to me (contact info in bio).

I am pretty active in the STR space in northen Utah.

The price to rent ratio one can get in the Section 8 space in Detroit is next level. 

Interestingly, the records do include the downstairs space as part of the livable square footage.
