Think big when you are investing in commercial real estate investments. If you are considering buying a five-unit building, you can probably easily manage 50. A five-unit building requires commercial financing just as the larger buildings do, but the larger one has lower per unit average prices and more rental income streams for you.

Real estate pros can recognize a solid investment immediately. They have also developed a good feel for what types of deals are riskier than others, are good at calculating risk, and how to balance repair costs against long-term profit.

Watch for very motivated sellers. It's up to you to seek them out, in particular those who are enthusiastic enough that they might sell to you below market values.

Your first step should be to find financing. Commercial lenders and the establishments that finance them are different than home finance. They are actually superior in some ways. Commercial loans require a larger down payment, but you can avoid personal liability if the deal goes bad, and the bank won't mind as much about you borrowing money for the down payment from friends and family.

When thinking about financing for properties of a commercial nature, you want to ensure you have a top-notch attorney who will go over everything with you. If a complication arises relating to your real estate transaction, then you want the best backing you up to keep your reputation sound and protect you from threats.
