My guess is that no one answered because that is a huge and complicated topic and really depends on too many factors to easily list. Do you have a specific parcel in mind? If so, let us know some more details about the parcel, and people will likely be able to give you some feedback! Eliza,

Anna had a lead this week from someone looking to lease and/or buy commercial real estate, and while we did pass the lead to someone who I think will treat the client very well, I'd be interested in hearing from additional people who serve this market!

Any commercial agents in the Seattle area willing to help a first time investment buyer (who owns their own home, so not a "first time buyer") who wants to buy a condo on the Eastside for under $150,000 to rent out, contact me off site...or on...your choice.

I believe there are those in the Commercial Business who don't have time for the first time investor. I, however have had tremendous success with initial investors. My 25 years in the business helps me guide first time investors with a good business plan to build wealth through real estate investing. I have many first time investors who have gained significant wealth from implementing investing strategies I have helped develop. So, perhaps I am the exception to your rule but I am sure I am not alone. Because first time investors will be loyal to those brokers who help them build wealth.

But I am increasingly called on to get involved with the sale or purchase of condos for investment purposes (single units), duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. I am told by the consumers who approach me for assistance with investment property, including 1031 exchanges, that the commercial brokers are not interested in helping them with these lower priced properties. Those I have assisted to date tend to be first time investment purchasers who need more "hand holding" than commercial brokers seem to be willing to provide.
