Looking to get an understanding of the closing costs involved with a seller financed commercial property in North Carolina. 

Managing Rental Properties by Heather and Brandon Turner is as good as any.

My aim is to not only profit financially but to gain in the process some intangible assets, such as project management skills, getting to know reliable professionals (i.e. realtors, contractors, designers, etc.) for the long-term, getting acquainted with the local market's promises and pitfalls, and basically adding some entrepreneurial muscle going into my next project.My strategy is to go small: find a second-hand apartment in a good location (I don't have enough funds for a GREAT location...); no more than 60-70 m2 (that's about 650-750 f2) to, among other things, lower renovation costs; 1-2 bedrooms, street facing and with a lift (if said apartment is above the second floor); with good bones, i.e., needs only partial renovation.

I believe I can handle one or two on my own but then would want to transition to a property manager.

I believe that this is due to (finally) rising interest rates deflating asset values, which is highly correlated to the exponential increases in income for top earners like CEOs, executives, money managers, RE investors, and Private Equity Groups.To me, the only logical stance is "rational optimism" (I heard this term from Morgan Housel).

Keeps our taxes as Agriculture versus commercial.  

Small enough but experienced enough to have good referrals (the profile pages of QIs here on BP can get you started) means you'll be in good hands since at the largest QIs in the country your experience will be dictated by the sales manager assigned your file and not necessarily a senior consultant.You've had a good experience with yours to date.

I know some multi is cash flowing more , but I’ll need property managements since it’s to much manage by yourself. 

But, a funny thing happened on our way to the Forum: we were able to learn first hand how to manage properties, deal with renters (including the House from Hell and the Renters from Hell on our 3rd property), what to look for in deals, etc.
