Commercial REI Advice Needed

Hi Everyone!

I am an established residential realtor here in Southern Maine. I work as a junior agent on a two-person team, with a lot of direct mentorship from my team lead that is invaluable for residential investment projects. I recently onboarded a client who is looking to do a larger scale commercial deal, ideally NNN retail or industrial, not residential. My team lead and I both have limited experience in non-residential commercial REI, and so I've been binging all the content I can about it. I want to be as proficient as possible, as the topic is so incredibly complex, and so I'm curious if there are any excellent books anyone recommends for a crash course on the intricacies of commercial rei. I'm also curious if there are any online resources anyone recommends for analyzing localized commercial market data.

P.S. If anyone is a commercial investor in southern Maine, let me buy you coffee and pick your brain- DM me.

@Jaycee Greene required 4 pages on Lead Law amongst other things. My leases also included helpful things like a city wide advisory on how to avoid getting bed bugs. A full page on security deposit charges for disposing of furniture. A clause on maintaining the heat at minimum temps in winter so pipes don't  freeze. An entire Clause on why  crossbows weren't allowed on my properties... guess how that made it into the lease :  )
