Without a commercial MLS is a challenge, but I'm not even a player in the game and have heard of mismanaged commercial properties from the management of the building and identified other properties in decent neighborhoods that look like they have tired owners.

To get into commercial real estate you need to have money, know the players in your market and experience. 

No, they are not your typical BiggerPockets syndicator, since most all are value-add players, and value add players are often 3-5 yr holds.  

There are definitely players in all of the commercial spaces who are going to do great no matter what type of asset class they are in.

I'm currently a minor league baseball player, and I'm looking to mainly utilize the buy-and-hold strategy to create wealth from rentals.

Consolidation will allow some of these operators to amass attractive portfolios of assets and emerge as large industry players.

In case anyone is wondering what @Robert Ellis Columbus ZIP suggestions look like visually What a team player - Thanks!

It takes a group of investors to be a bigger player then the individual investor.

If you want to run your own deals, I would recommend calling on at least 10 banks that are actual players in the area you want to buy in, be open and honest about what your plans are and ask what it would take to get into a deal.

Typically these are buyers with lots of cash sitting around from a high income job or business or a 1031 exchange that sold off houses and now wants a small multi property in a high quality area.The bigger players in the hundreds of units some ore UHNM (ultra high net worth) or they are syndicators.
