Where do you find out the laws for buying commercial properties in the states if not from the states?

Hi Colin,
You should contact a commercial real estate Broker, preferably a CCIM such as myself. I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you have.

I agree contact a qualified real estate broker and/or real estate attorney.

Laws are ever changing. I say the local Association of the property you are investing in (apt. association, self-storage association, etc.) I don't know where you live. There are owners and advisors there who can show you the way. Sometimes there are workshops and seminars out there. But...always talk to your attorney when in doubt.
