My only concern is my lack of liquid savings, about $5K in all.

@Alex Rand - I dont have zero experience in commercial, only residential, so maybe you should not listen to me at all...That said, with the ever expanding to e-commerce, the traditional retail has been and will continue to shrink, meaning the demand for retail space has been reducing and will continue to reduce....I would not get too greedy here....

What are your favorite books that cover these topics?

e - Found something in the property that she didn't like, that she didn't notice before?

While I have a lot of liquid assets and perfect credit, I can’t refinance to a 30 year fixed or anything else because my income doesn’t show much.

20% down would essentially drain all my liquid funds, so I’d also like everyone’s thoughts on other avenues to pay for the down payment? 

You could do something for each unit as a patio but that is a little more involved and I think A-D  will get something but not E-F.

Think E*Trade or Fidelity with different paperwork.
