I invest with a team of guy who are all way smarter than me in the Commerical space so it has been an easy transition.

Then commerical (small assisted living)... bingo... if I could buy one of these a year...

Commerical is very different all over.

One friend mentioned that he has been purchasing commerical properties for the last 5-10 years and was selling me on the benefits of it vs. residential. 

Can you guys help me in deciding if going residential or commerical is a good option? 

The sales person licensing allows to be a residential or commerical sales person.

I say this because I always thought that SFRs are where the newbie investors start and eventually graduate to multi-family, apartments, and commerical.

Hi Jeremy, I hope this goes without saying, but you need to get a commerical broker of your own.

Been looking at SFH, multi-family and commerical properties.

I am seeking both single family homes in decent areas at a discount, with appreciation potential (i.e. decent middle class neighborhoods, blue collar, not white) as well as multi units. considering commerical (above 4 units) but leaning twoard 2-4 with favor toward tenants paying own heat (not common here in maine) - I am having some trouble finding true $100 per door cash flow.
