Since this is a MF commercial property I would base it off of that to start minus the repairs that need to be done. 

I would like to find an attorney or a collection firm that can assist me with getting a judgement against the borrower(s).

Hey Brandon,Are you working with a lender that has explained your options for a sellers assist at closing?

You could also try down payment assistance programs.

I recently spent months trying to find the right investment property. I came across a property I found would work financially for only $28,000. I talked to the lender and they only offer loans at a minimum of $30,000,...

Any time I reach in my pocket for repairs and rehabbing, I want to know how I am going to get my money back.

BP offers plenty of lenders who may be able to assist you

I do currently have 50k in home equity which I plan to use for down payments and some repairs on my first propertyMy question is, is it profitable to purchase commercial real estate to be used as a rental property in smaller towns?

If you have you’re license you may be able to be someone’s assistant for hourly pay.  

Here in the USA we're facing 5% rates recently, so over 30 years, your $250K house will actually cost $375 including interest and that does not include property taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance etc.She said the catch is (at least in areas outside of Tokyo which is booming up to the Olympics), is that used real estate is very cheap so after you buy a home it's guarantee to drop over the years.
