Keep in mind you have no contractual with owner so you have limited ways to get compensated.

From my limited experience there are two types of agents. 

Whatever your answer is, it will get you thinking on if and how to proceed into the commercial real estate world.All that being said, my general answer is YES, it is a good strategy.First step should be to start educating yourself about commercial real estate, how its valuation is based on profitability and not strictly on comps, how to leverage the power of partnerships to get large deals done through syndication, how job and population growth start playing a big role when evaluating markets to invest in, etc. 

Hi All, I am running up against the personal mortgage limit of (10) and have to go commercial if i want to continue . 

Your options will be limited, You can file documents that will allow you to go after bank accounts and garnishments but that gets more complicated and he may need legal advice to do that.

The trouble we've found with established or as you call them "stable" tenants is that they feel as though they have more ownership of the building than you do - it's a funny, unbalanced power dynamic that's just awkward.

Neighborhoods without that much building have a much more limited supply (although they change less too.)  

They are all battery powered now, no wires!

I've also read on forums that the customer service is super limited with this method, by email only, so no personal touch at all, which obviously, is the cornerstone of a real estate agent's value, along with their knowledge and expertise of their local market.The day we can take emotions out of selling or buying real estate is the day realtors will cease to exist.

Regardless, this left me with limited options.
