Target size strip malls, or office space, or NNN, or Pads, or etc...Or are you talking about things like a stand alone building with a hair salon, or similar in it along side of a major road.[2] What can you afford to do Down-payment-wise, in an MMA maybe only a 7/11 strip mall, in a medium sized area maybe a larger bite of the chocolate bar than the 7/11 mall.[3] Do you want partners on deals, (same on all, different on some), must you have partners on deals (loan qualifications, personal weak spots, etc...)[4] How will you swing the bat at financing; do you qualify for the financing your deals will need, will you need others to help you qualify, do you now these people vs risking someone who will make your life miserable and you will hate working with (an unfortunate situation). [5] Do you want to work government handout money for fix up real estate, is there any that looks profitable right now.[6] How well do you know commercial real estate "Stuff"; such as can you identify a 400 amp service panel from an 800 amp service panel, can you identify an electrical transformer that you own from those owned by the utility, what is a plenum, does your building have them, what are those big red pipes with wheel handles on them, hidden behind the bushes (who do they belong to), how long does asphalt last in a commercial lot, and etc...Good Luck!

I am an out of state investor and just purchased two SFH in March (Forest Park and Brown's Mill Golf Course area).

No matter which way the market swings they come up. 

They have a Top Golf now though.... so there's that.

Use the lookup with my name and cap rate.Give me your NOI detail and price and I can swing your cap rates two percentage points easily.  

, or will the lender let you swing this deal by yourself (???)

I would love to get in on a flip project to see the ins and outs, swing a hammer, learn about rehab costs and what to look for.

Go for it.I’m not saying you should never swing a hammer.

If I was younger with less earning potential, I may be more comfortable swinging for the fences.

Rent should increase and if you can swing the repairs, might still pencil out in your favor.
