Opportunity to help lease a small commercial property
I have been presented an opportunity to help lease out roughly 2,000 square feet of workshop space. It would most likely draw in a mechanic, smaller construction company, or something of the like. There will be parking and storage available.
Would I be completely crazy for trying to attempt something like this? I am a residential agent and admittedly know little about the commercial side of things. Although I have no desire to move into the commercial space at this time, I would love the opportunity to learn more about this and feel like it would be a good starting point for a skill to add to my toolbox.

I don't think crazy is the right term, but I don't take on assignments outside of my area of expertise. i.e. I refer out all residential opportunities to agents that are proficient in the target market. That is just my business philosophy. I, personally, do not believe I can properly serve the client taking assignments in markets or asset classes with which I can't add add value.
