I give up
I was so excited to start this bussiness in CRE, specifically in retail spaces or office spaces. Once I researched enough to know how much will it cost everything, the downpayment plus the months or years it takes me to find a renter is just impossible for me. The amount of capital to invest in CRE is equal to that of a rich person, which I'm not. I feel sad to recognize that I will continue the same routine of the other 99% of people: work for someone until retirement😔. Maybe CRE is for people who are rich already. I'm poor, very poor and I thank those who tried to help me through reddit. I'll keep going on, thanks!

Years later, as they grow or get ready to retire from that business, they become landlords for the person buying that business. It's a common way to get started in commercial real estate. Don't be too discouraged. It takes a lot of capital, and that doesn't come quickly to most people.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ez5jf5s", "text": "Start with residential properties, build up your capital, then move into CRE.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
