I'm looking to buy a property that's a mix of commercial and residential, located next to a train station.

I’m new here as well and am located outside the Bay.

To start, what area/location are you referring to?

I got started as a realtor in 2017 and worked primary as an apartment locator.

Sacrifices could be distressed properties that need work or bad locations and less desirable tenants (difficult PM).

I am a newbie to real estate investing and located in the bay area.

Were the railings solid and secure?

May I ask what county specifically is that Murchison Rd located?

Part of the agent’s process will be to reach out and find out how much compensation the seller would be able or willing to commit to, versus how much compensation you are responsible for.If there is no buyer broker agreement in place, you are free to do as you wish, however, if you want representation and were hoping the seller will pay your agent, the agent should be the one to reach out to the seller first to make inquiries and secure a compensation agreement with the seller.  

This means there's a promising location for nearly any investor's goals.
