The reasons are 1- less competition in commercial2- greater property types lead to more opportunities for “value added”3- commercial net income projections include expense for property management, 1-4 unit residential usually do not4- greater “universe” of properties to buy allow higher minimum return standards Of course residential is MUCH easier to successfully deal in, and with reasonable leverage has small downside risk, so I 100% agree that most investors should stick with residential.
