Most parts of the country from residential to commercial it is tough.

Commercial and off market transactions operate differently and are generally subject to what is negotiated and agreed upon in a contract. 

I'd like to stick in commercial real estate investing, and I welcome any and all advice from you guys in the know.

Hi Frank,I suggest you run the numbers through the BiggerPockets rental calculator, and see if it looks good based on that.As far as financing, this will be a commercial deal, so you should either find a commerical mortgage broker in the area, or start calling the local banks in the area that may finance the deal.Best of luck, and feel free to reach out if you need any help!

One will see the impact on your tax position and the other on the commercial liability.I run a property investment business and real estate agency in Adelaide, I would be happy to have a chat if you are open to it.CheersSteve 

We sold a property using the 1031 process and were approached by a business about purchasing a piece of commercial property for them with the intent to create a rent to own agreement.  

I'd have to double check but I believe only once so far we've utilized a commercial note (shorter term and some language allowing a lender to use discretion, balloon terms, etc) and it was only briefly. 

Now they are my go to and I utilize them frequently in the commercial buildings I manage.

Most of the commercial brokers I know pretty much sell all the deals to their existing clients.. cant imagine someone rolling into town and working with a bunch of different brokers like it was a resi broker..
