I'm looking into a piece of commercial property with Retail, Restaurants, and office space on a busy Main Street in a small city, it has a low vacancy rate of around 5%. There are long time tenants and it's a desirable location. There is also additional space in need of rehab that could be improved and rented out for additional income.

I could be looking at a few thousand a month in rental income - depending on the details of the deal.

Here are my obstacles: I would have to get 100% financing. I have no experience in Real Estate or Property Management. Finally my credit is quite tarnished from some bad choices several years back.

Advice? I have a myriad of details if more info would be helpful. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
