Before you buy commercial real estate, you have to do your own preparations or research to help you answer these questions:

1. What is a good area where I can invest?
2. How will I evaluate if the property I want is a good rental property?
3. How will I be able to calculate my return of investment or cash flow before I buy the property?
4. How will I qualify for a mortgage?
5. How will I deal with property management?

Remember that buying real estate for commercial use has a lot of advantages. It will not only be a steady source of income to replace the income in your job, but more important, it is a good source of tax deduction.
