The US is a really interesting market and I want to start investing in multifamily/apartment buildings and commercial real estate - especially real estate connected to the relentless growth of ecommerce.But my questions are simple.

Our LLC owns a commercial property with a great tenant, we own it free and clear, after all expenses are paid we net about 12k a year.

I am interested in real estate (like we all are), but have only had exposure to commercial real estate (currently work at largest bank in Nyc in Global Real Estate Portfolio Management).

Try going to your local commercial bankers.

When I put in offers for my commercial clients on larger properties (millions to tens of millions in price) I look past just the asking price.

The DD period is a set time, allowing it to continue one minute past is not helping your client and the buyer going back in is essentially continuing the DD.Just my thought, It could just be NY though, how is that handled in your 3 states @Russell Brazil Absolutely no access for buyers outside the times to be there that are negotiated in the contract. 

On the downside, with the HELOAN, I leverage only a small portion of that equity and, as I understand it, I would have to pay off the HELOAN before being able to access more (no plan to borrow more though as I don't want to over leverage).

We were looking at it more for the flexibility of looking at a lot of properties frequently, MLS access and being able to continuously put in offers without exhausting an agent who has other clients to focus on as well.  

I do understand that commercial property takes a lot longer to sell than residential.

I have a real estate license and have access to the MLS but I don't see how I can contact this person.
