Does anyone have advice or tips for me on what the best way for me to build my REI knowledge would be so that when I do have the adequate funds, I am already equipped with a very good base knowledge.

I'd like to keep $100k equity for myself and sell the other $500k to equity investor(s) so I can keep the excellent mortgage (fixed at 3.25%) and take advantage of the cash flow and build more equity.

This is through a conventional, no PMI loan.Investing in Commercial Real Estate:Commercial properties include office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and more.

However, here are some considerations:Permitting: Unpermitted structures are often a red flag for lenders because they may not meet local building codes or safety standards.

It's none of their business what is going on with the other tenants in the building.

I was fortunate to buy it when prices were much much lower and got a great deal on it so we don’t have a mortgage on this building but if we did the cash flow would help with that as opposed to taking a distribution at the end of the year.

The first buyer is going to build a house.

Something that you really have to take into consideration is that most buildings here are a century old or even older.

Don't think because the building is ocean front that the unit you like has an amazing ocean view.

I have read many posts, but many are old and may not be looking at a single building vs complex.
