Easiest Commercial Real Estate Investment to Get Started

Hello everyone. What is the easiest path to get started in commercial real estate? I'm currently doing multifamily family but I'm considering other options. Would purchasing like a restaurant be a good way to get started for beginners? I'm gunshy when it comes to office buildings and retail. I don't have the capital for industrial. If there are any mentors out there I'd love to hop on a zoom call to see your analysis process.

I buy and hold all types of commercial properties including office, retail, daycares, etc.  I haven’t owned industrial yet but I’m always looking.  There’s a lot of aspects you should keep in mind before you get into this space.  I like investing where I know which usually means staying in my local area.  We assume a vacancy will last 2 years and depending on the size of the unit, it could be $100k+ to remodel and get someone in.  I can talk you through it if you want.  Shoot me a message.
