I'm looking to buy a six-plex property in Watertown, NY, priced at $425k.

If you're investing remotely, especially for buy/hold, I highly recommend for the investor to spend some time in the cities that they are interested in

I'm about to embark on my first commercial real estate development project.I plan to buy a ~1acre property in Georgia to construct a 20,000sqft building with the following breakdown:8,000sqft retail space7,000sqft warehouse space5,000sqft office spaceI'll be using some of the office space and warehouse space for myself.

I would much rather not buy anything less than a 2 bdr, but i'm also seeing  1 bdr condos for about the same price but in nicer areas.    

I work in our Pittsburgh office, but we also have an office in Atlanta (as well as 50+ other markets).
