More local mom and pop type properties and local operators for strip centers and other types of commercial assets.The better areas that are urban and suburban tend to have much higher rents per sq ft supported by national tenants that want to be there because of strong population growth, high traffic counts, and high median household incomes that fit their demographic.If you are going to start off small in commercial under 1 million you are generally looking at  a local bank with full recourse on the loan and non-premium type assets that turn more and  a local presence is needed.
