Search Contract-For-Deed on BP, you'll see the issues, I'd  suggest you look up Subject-To as well, a better choice.It also helps if we define the type of "commercial" property we are talking about, multi-family is much different than office-warehouse or retail or industrial and each has unique requirements where having title may be more crucial in operations, such as regulatory compliance, zoning issues, construction matters and financing. :) 

I got into real estate 4 years ago as an agent and worked hard to develop a solid retail based real estate business. 

The 2 year mortgage brokers are retail brokers.  

@Anja Wehrmann The main problem with paying full retail for turnkey properties is that there is no assured "exit strategy" that will result in profit to you.

That means I don't buy properties at or near full retail in hopes of appreciation. 

This is primarily driven by the high price points for retail properties in this market.

(I am actually unsure about taxes for a property owned by an individual under an LLC)As some one just starting I like this idea as a way to get into a few properties without massive upfront costs.

The cash flow is nice, but you are paying retail price once you factor in the repairs. 

I talked about it in my blog (found in my signature) but the main thing is to not use retail professionals but make sure that they are investor grade.
