How do I find/finance my first commercial real estate deal?

Greetings BP Community

I am an investor in Maryland who is seeking advice on how to learn more about investing in commercial real estate. Can anyone suggest any resources to get started? My wife and I already invest in SFHs and would like to turn to commercial within the next few years so that we can pay all of our bills with the passive income. I have two categories of questions: 1) evaluating commercial and 2) financing

  1. Evaluating commercial real estate
    1. What good books are available on how to evaluate commercial real estate?
    2. Where do you find these deals?
    3. What are biggest pros and cons to investing in commercial v. SFH?
    4. How do you know you have a good deal?
  2. Financing
    1. How do you get a bank to approve a non-recourse loan?
    2. How do you get a bank to lend to an LLC?
    3. Is it better to have multiple partners on commercial deals?

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
