That's what I thought. Everyone says invest as little cash as possible... what is the average % most people put down in commercial property to cover their mortgage and possibly make a profit?

What % did you guys put down on your property? Were you able to make a profit at that %?

Is this a common experience? I am investigating commercial REI and recently went out looking, but found that I would need at least 50% of a down payment in order be able to afford the mortgage payments. Is this often the case?

I have approximately 100k that I can spend... does that mean I would be limited to a 200k property? If that's the case, perhaps I should start off in residential after all.

I am looking for a good book on analyzing markets prior to entering them, but the only one I've found is from 2001:

Does anyone have a more up-to-date book, or is this the book to buy?

Also, which sites do you guys recommend to analyze and select commercial markets in different areas of the country? Any free ones would be very much appreciated :)
