| Pros-------
 
 Tenants usually sign multi-year leases (in our case all 5 years)
 Stable income and usually less of a headache than residential tennants
 Tenants pay part of taxes and upkeep of building
 
 Cons
 ------
 
 Usually need 25% down (where I live) to acquire a commercial property
 High property taxes
 With some tenants they want rennovations done (sometimes at your cost)
 Multi-year leases (sometimes hard to break)
 
 I am a big fan of commercial properties personally and own several of them. They are much less of headaches than some of our residential apartment buildings.
