I am looking to learn and grow from different perspectives in the real estate investing space.

Adding Square FootageIncreasing the usable living space of a home, such as by finishing a basement, converting an attic, or adding extensions, can dramatically raise the ARV.

I know so many good people in the RE space that I know I should be just fine. 

The area is expanding rapidly and I could see this property really going up in value as there is a very limited amount of buildable space between the mountains and the ocean, so I see this as a great investment and I would love to keep it.

. ;-) 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.

I am not interested in this space as a "get rich quick" solution but more so about developing and growing assets over time and eventually trading up into better assets that can provide the cash flow I need to accomplish my goals.

A friend of mine recently got a $2M umbrella policy for around $300 annually by bundling it with home and auto insurance; it’s worth exploring.Out of curiosity, are you primarily investing in residential properties or venturing into commercial spaces?

If the property breaks even, or operates in the red currently, it will only operate deeper in the negative (unless you find a strong ROI like creating more bedrooms, convert a non living space to living space, etc) with another loan.
