Can I live in the 20plex that I buy?
Not that i'd want my tenants to have 24 hour access to me by knowing I live in the building, but financially it might make sense to live in the building that you are trying to either rehab or improve on vacancies until its cashflowing like its supposed to.
But for some reason I heard somewhere that you cant live in a building that you buy using a commercial mortgage. I'm having difficulty finding info on the internet to verify that that is true..
Any truth in that?
