My only concern is that i probably wont be a ble to get a residential loan ( i will find out next week) and ill have to come up with nearly 20k for dP.

If a buy and hold, I would have concern as you will run into some capital expenses sooner rather than later.

If you are looking for long-term wealth building and are not as concerned with immediate cash flow, rentals or notes can be a great avenue to pursue. 3.

How does a beginner get started in commercial properties?

If you're truly concerned about a post apocalyptic situation, use it to buy a piece of defensible land, guns, ammo, and canned food.

Now that many homes here are heated by gas, there is a concern that the previous owner failed to remove or decommission (fill with sand) the ust (underground oil tank) leaving a leaking UST that is contaminating the soil.

My biggest concern now is finding buyers and finding a good way to price real estate in my area.

Their credit (unless it can attach liens to the property) is not a major concern to me.For example the wife & I go to our local tax or property auctions & sit there with the bidders (after we have est a good price for a home based on its condition etc).
