I would say, from a leasing perspective, unless you're in a downtown core type area, the retail space is harder to lease.

However, many fail to recognize much less understand how a small confined or even large space without adequate ventilation/dilution air can result in death of people subjected to elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the air they breathe.

I believe I provide the most value in the 5-50 unit multifamily space, so it's my goal to move clients into that arena as quickly as possible.

I'd love to connect you if you need help getting to know folks in the investing or lending space. 

@Colin Smith and Brent Bowers usually host an excellent meetup at third space.

I recommend Screen The Tenant . com (without the spaces).

Hi Bigger Pockets Nation,with the covid-19 outbreak, I saw more and more commercial listings in the downtown.I am thinking to purchase a small commercial space as a new investment stream.my plan is to wait another 6 weeks and hit it with cash, no condition offers with closing for 2 weeks.what should i be looking at ?

Yep, in the enterprise and commercial space it can make sense.My mgt co s-corp rents space from a multi-use building owned by one of my commercial LLCs.I may not ask for SBA relief, but its an option.I don't see using it in a househack primary situation, though I have rented my house out for 13 days a year for a few years now.

I am a residential multi-family investor looking to expand into the commercial real estate space. 

You need to become an expert in the space or partner with someone who is to fast track yiyr success.
