Investing in commercial property

[schmidtjas]

My wife was watching '17 kids and counting' and the episode was about how they save money etc. At one point they went into some detail on how they own a number of commercial properties and rent them out.

I was just wondering if anyone here has done that and how it went. I've been interested in it for awhile but haven't done much digging, and I don't know anyone who already does it to ask questions. I've invested in residential property before.

Anyone know of any good books/websites/forums on this topic?

MIT has some decent free overviews for online courses. Try this link:

MIT OpenCourseWare | Sloan School of Management | 15.021J Real Estate Economics, Spring 2004 | Lecture Notes

Of course nothing beaks hands on experience.
