Mixed use properties

[Elizabeth Guarnieri]

Hi--any general thoughts out there on small mixed use properties?  A few apartments and a small retail space type of mixed use property?  I'm wondering if they are worth the extra cost of a commercial loan (and extra insurance costs) and how difficult it will be to resell down the line.  Thanks!

My only mistake is that I assumed we would have the commercial rented faster. Instead of the expected 2 months it took almost 6 to get someone in.
