Have you had a home inspection done? If there are any issues, you may be able to have the seller take care of them and roll cost into the mortgage. Or perhaps the situation qualifies for a 203k where you can get your repair costs rolled into the mortgage. It's always best to borrow high and roll everything into a small monthly payment than pay thousands out of pocket for repairs. Even if you have a huge cash reserve that money could go towards other projects instead.
Commercial is more difficult to find tenants for than residential. The less expensive the property, the more at risk you are for bad tenants.
An LLC is a good idea, to cover your ass. My buddy was getting his roof done, one of the workers fell and broke his legs. Roofing Co. had an insurance lapse, so guy sued my buddy and settled for some big bucks from him. Good insurance saved his ass.
If it's in a rough neighborhood talk to your councilmember and see if there are any grant programs available.
I'm renovating a 7 untit 16,000 sq ft building right now. It's a huge headache. But it should pay off well in the end.
