It usually takes multiple interactions to build rapport before meeting in person 

But, commercial tenants, as was said above by @Greg Scott, can create longer vacancy times and may want build outs done, depending on the area and the prospective tenant.At your price point, the spread on commercial/residential will matter also based on your management expectation.

I currently have a place I rehabbed that I have listed for sale because I'm also building a house that I need the cash for, but I have another house I just started that I may rent.

It would take me 6 months to fix our primary up and an additional 6 months to build the garage.

I hope to learn from the collective expertise of the members on BP and build a local team in Milwaukee. 

Basement space is less valuable than above ground space when it comes to appraisals and valuing a home.

However, these buildings have no mortgages or liens and the areas have become quite desirable to young professionals since acquired.

I recently had a infill lot under contract to purchase so I can build a 2 family house.

The next thing would be connecting with a lender and seeing if you can find any properties that pass the self sufficiency test if looking at 3-4 unit buildings.

I live on 5 acres and am considering building a DADU to use as a short or medium term rental.
