I understand space is limited for those who can get in the bay and hack away, I have a buddy who is interested in coming just to meet people and hang out.

Do I figure out how to outsource more of my marketing business, so I can free up brain space/time for real estate?

Hi @Michael Garofalo I have to agree with @Mark Fries. 

The obvious downside to investing in a small commercial office building (2-3 tenants) is the lack of large value-add, there just isn't space.5) If I purchase office space I could lease-back some of it to my consulting business and draw a little tax free money out of the company.Residential:Let's get this out of the way, I'm familiar with BRRR and I know folks doing it.1) If I go residential I would be purchasing 2 or 3 properties in the 300k price range.

I want to buy commercial real estate as an investment with the intent of using some of the space to do something in the food space.
