 Well I bought an office in a condominium - The tenant decided to stay  and I really like the fact that  the condo takes care of the outside and all I have to take care is the bathroom ( there is no kitchen )  - So unless the toilet breaks it is maintenance free. On the low side however if I loose the tenant it might take a very long time to rent again.

Thanks !

 I think Costar is even more expensive than Loopnet.

 I thought of getting a CCIM designation but what stopped me is that I would need 20 deals or so in Commercial to become  CCIM certfied ( at least that is what I read 1 year ago ) -     Anyway I will keep on investigating on search for commercial properties.   

Hi I am a new member from Rockville MD.  I have been investing in single family homes but I think it is time I switch to something else.   I also am a realtor so I have been looking on MRIS for commercial properties but they do not offer much. Also  I would like to look on loopnet but their monthly fee sees to be $250 a month just to browse.  Is there any other way to search for commercial properties ? Anything here in BiggerPockets ?

PS  If you search for "raw land loan" you should be able to find some info.  

As far as I know they do not give home equity lines even on fully build homes unless it is your primary residence.  I did manage to buy in cash however ( using my home equity line ) and then was able to refinance after the property was  fixed up to lender standards.   When I asked maybe 10 years ago they would give a mortgage on a land as long as we had a plan to build a house within a year with an approved contractor but I am not sure the guideline are still the same.   

Recently I had applicant showing me their Credit Karma Free credit report. I think that is quite acceptable as a pre screening.    I would screen myself however the selected choice.   

I just joined BP and just found this. I too am interested in having a MoCo meeting.
