Finding local foreclosures is actually something else I am interested in figuring out but haven't really looked into yet - but I'm definitely not seeing them in the same place.I was really considering buying a parcel at this auction purely for the experience, but by the time they removed the ones that had been redeemed before auction day there were only I think 3 that were big enough to legally build on (and not even usable if rezoned somehow, just like 4 ft wide strips of land between 2 houses and such).1 of those was commercial, would have required tons of tree clearing and excavating to build on it an all the engineers, applications, and hearings involved with that were intimidating for me... that was the only useful one I could've afforded. 

Brokers' poor reputation has caused many brokers to rebrand themselves as “Commercial Real Estate Advisors” or “Real Estate Consultants.”This is similar to the Wealth Management and insurance industries, where commissioned salespeople pretend to be professionals who always keep the client’s best interests in mind.

For all the commercial experts, how would you recommend I proceed in trying to secure financing this property? 

-Check and see if there is an easement on an adjacent property for a future driveway access to your landlocked property-If there is not, ask your neighbors nicely if you can add a driveway access to your property on theirs-Try to sell the land to an adjacent owner

However, if the attic is accessible on its own and is set up for heat, then it should be able to be counted as a 3rd bedroom. 

So going from residential to commercial or long term to short term rentals is perfectly fine.

When they're selling for $170,000 and renting for 1600/month, they can approach too-good-to-be-true.I do think the stadium will generate more commercial investment to the area, but I'd have to ponder more how that would play into appreciation/rent/demographic changes.

@Ann Bellamy do you know of any that focus, or at least touch on, commercial outside of multis/apartments?  

I'm interested in flips, mfh, and later down the road...commercial!

When someone posts it stays on here so one time I was in an eviction forum responding about the process and another about Veteran rentals.I have probably gotten hundreds of calls over the years for that and I had to explain I am not focused on that.So really I mainly post about commercial real estate as that is my daily life.
