Hi I’m a multi family investor I would like to start investing in commercial and industrial properties.

. -- A license is not required for:(4) an agent of a licensed real estate broker or of an owner of real estate while managing or leasing that real estate for the real estate broker or owner;Attorney P's interpretation - Therefore, property owners can directly hire non-real estate brokers to manage their rental properties.Attorney P's Recommendations - You can either file as a foreign entity doing business in MD or start a new business in MD.  

I have recently been looking into properties in Marietta, GA.

-we had one like this we helped an owner with. seemed fine, separate docs for the lease and purchase. 

When I checked in, Tenant expected me to list the property back in April '24 when he verbally conveyed a possibility of early move out.

The CRE lending market is expected to recover gradually, with opportunities emerging as interest rates stabilize and maturing loans drive new borrowing activity.Some regional banks are certainly struggling while others are consolidating in bid to become national powerhouses.Revised CRE Lending Projections2024: 26% growth to $539 billion (down from previous 34% growth forecast)2025: 23% growth to $665 billion (slightly lowered from 24%)Multifamily Sector Adjustments2023: $246 billion (49% drop from 2022)2024: 21% growth to $297 billion2025: 31% growth to $390 billionMarket FactorsRecent moderation in interest ratesSignificant number of loans maturing soonProperty owners hesitant, hoping for further rate decreasesUncertainty persists in the market, particularly regarding interest rates and property owner behavior.

Most NEW owners are very unreasonable on price because they want the highest price when they should be focused on reducing vacancy.

The second property can also be a multi family property up to 4 units.

If the work looks like it was performed by inept home owner or handyman, it will get more scrutiny.  

I would most likely be interested in renting out multi-family units and would have to use a property management company, since I live outside of Chicago.
