I need to find commercial properties for sale by owner in any US city. Preferably office buildings, where can I start?
You should probably look for a reputable realtor.
Bear in mind that the "For Sale By Owner" people are not trying to save YOU money. They are trying to save THEMSELVES money by avoiding the real estate agent's commission.
Commercial properties can be complicated. You may need an environmental study and other information to obtain a mortgage. If you have never bought commercial property before, you may spend a lot of time and money trying to get everything right, and you will probably need an attorney — who may cost you a good part of what you hope to save by avoiding a realtor's commission.
Good luck!
