While i have never personally managed a property i did work at a company handling property management like tasks for a 186 unit development project while he was building it and got a great crash course while i was there.The main reason that I would like to do commercial is because having a rather large goal of 1000 rental units by the time that I am 40 years old which would be in 12 years from now.
