What Equipment Do I Need?

I've been in this business for about three months. I've only been doing residential so far, but I'm looking to expand into commercial work. I have a small washer (2,700 psi / 2.3 gpm) which I know isn't big enough for commercial work. Can anyone give me some advice on what the minimum equipment I would need to be able to do a good job on commercial work? Rather than saying minimum equipment, I should probably say least cost equipment that would allow me some flexibility to expand. I'm assuming should buy a hot water unit too.

I don't have a lot of money to spend so I've been hesitant to go after any commercial work until I have the right equipment. But I've also been hesitant to buy the better equipment until I have the commercial work. It's been a chicken and egg thing. I'm looking to do parking lots, garages and storefront walkways.

Also, is there any particular organization I should join where I could get the best training on the use of the equipment?

Any advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.
 
I would recommend a minimum of 5 to 5.5 gpm, 3,000 to 3,500 psi hot water and a surface cleaner in the 20" - 24" range.
 
You need a 24ft extension wand....I think everyone here has one for sale.....LOL

I've got some of the accessories, including 75' of pressure hose, 150' of water hose, extra spray tips, 24' extension wand and I just bought a pickup trick :) I do know I need to upgrade on my machine though.

I appreciate all your advice.
