Find a Real Estate professional in your area who specializes in commercial properties. They are the best qualified(and know the market) better than anyone in your area! Be sure to give him/her specific details of what you need as well as price ranges! This helps narrow down the process! Good Luck!\n\nP.S. find a real estate online and look up their available commercial properties...this can also give you an idea of pricing and availability!

Dependent on what kind of equipment and things you will be offering, I would say shoot for 8,000-15,000 square feet of space.  This will allow you enough room for locker areas, restrooms, workout areas, etc.  Of coarse, you know best as to what you plan on offering, so you may need to go up to 20,000+ square feet.  Just rememeber the more square footage, the more money on overhead in base rent.\n\nTo locate commercial rental space or a building to purchase in Wilmington, you have a number of options.  The Delaware MLS can usually be found by doing a simple search online, and is usually free to access.  www.LoopNet.com is another great resource, but it costs money to use.  LoopNet will let you search by square footage you need, what type of building, and will give you the contact information to reach a commercial realtor who represents a property of interest, or who could represent you in finding a suitable location. \n\nWhen you do find some properties of interest, be sure to contact your local Planning and Zoning department and verify if they will allow your type of use in the building's zone.  Every retail or service use has a different code (For example B-1, C-2), and certain zones only allow certain types of business.  Don't ever sign a lease without looking into this.\n\nAs for what you can expect to pay per square foot, it depends on what type of property you're looking at.  Retail space within a shopping center can be anywhere from $7-$40+ per square foot, dependent on the area, what other cotenants are in the shopping center, etc.  A freestanding building can have similar rental rates.\n\nHope it works out for you!

The best option for you would be to find others with 30k to invest and see about setting up a REIT (real estate investment trust). Think about it, get 10 people together and now you've got 300k to work with. At that point, you can put the money down on a strip mall, apt complex, etc... Commercial real estate is very lucrative and often you will walk in cash positive. In fact, you can't buy the place (conventionally) unless you are cash positive. You get to see the previous owners 3yrs of financial records to tell you if it's going to yeild you a return or not and so on.

Go to the city and do a title search for ownership then try to trace down the current owners of the property. Then wheel and deal! You may need a commercial real estate broker though. Good Luck! I grew up in Amarillo. I Love those small old town motels! History!

Check on-line. Another little thing I know of is called the OREO techquie. IT stands for Other Real Estate Offerings. It may be take a lot of time and many phone calls. Heres how you do it. Get a phone number from an out of state bank and ask them if they any real estate holdings in your area. Chances are if they do they won't know your market that well and sell you somehting way under market value. It worked for a friend of mine (in Florida). She made 20 calls and finally find a bank in Minnesota with a Florida holding.She got it for $30,000 under Market Value

You most definitely need your real estate license to get into commercial leasing.  Apartment leasing consultants don't need licenses if they're only working on one property. Find the best real estate school in your area and get your license. Then you'll have to take the state test (which is not as scary you would think). Then you may have to be an assistant to an established broker in town to get your foot in the door.  You can get your commercial experience that way and then gain more independence.

I'd look for a good quality real estate management company in your local area and contract with them to handle all the details.  Some real estate brokers also deal in rentals and leasing.  Shop around and find one that you trust.

The book, "Investing in Real Estate" by Andrew McLean is a good book with lots of information.\n\nCheck out and visit your local real estate investors group and also take a look at thecreativeinvestor.com\n\n------\n\nAs long as you have good credit, you can borrow the funds needed to invest.  You can get better terms if the property's owner occupied.  If you want to do a quick flip, you can apply for a hard money loan.\n\nIf your credit is subpar, then you may want to partner with an investor who has money.

First,Check with your City Zoning department to see if it is zoned for Commercial use. If so, look for comparable commercial property sales near your area.\nBest person to talk to about this, is an experienced  commercial Realtor. If you don't know one,you can ask for a referral through the "Board of Realtors" in your County,  \n\nLearner
