Guys who put up cheap boxes (Wal Marts, drug store chains - nice, fat long term leases) do well. A Rite Aid can be a fucking sweet cash machine.
Mini mall guys have problems (shit tenants, lousy leases).
Residential development is a pain unless you're just flipping lots. Don't get into building homes. That shit can become a nightmare.
YMMV

I have a line on the first, cheap property that for a variety of specific reasons will appreciate well beyond the market for the next 5 years no matter what I do.
I have a sort of line on a combo of 2-3. Awesome commercial property. Next door to recently rehabbed commercial district that is now trendy. This is the next block that will go but it is still priced with a premium to be realized.
I have considered residential on the first cheap property, but I could always hold and just make 20% a year on my money.
