A few things to realize about being a commercial agent in this type of market:Finding good deals is really hardcommercial brokers font like to share their commissions Loopnet has NO good dealsAs mentioned above, if you want to get into the commercial brokers business, your best bet would be to join one of the big firms and grind for 2-3 until you build your client base and become an expert in the niche you work in, maybe even get a CCIM certified.

Wholesaling is her BEST BET to get out of foreclosure!

Also, don't bet on appreciation.

I think @Jay Hinrichs touches on the important point... if you can reasonably expect appreciation, then it might be a good bet/gamble. 

If you have cash to buy a place I bet there are some good deals to be had.

I bet they will be great when you get them printed.

Your best bet is to do some driving around and get names from the property location.
