Criteria for investing in Mulftifamily Residential vs. Commercial

[Ben Feder]

I think I know the difference in analyzing multifamily deals residential (2-4 units) vs 5+ units (apartment buildings), but I want to make sure. Small multifamily residential you analyze based on comps, squarefootage, features, and condition whereas apartment buildings you analyze based on income and cashflow that the property generates. Is this correct? If not, or if my assessment is a bit off, could somebody please correct me?
