Owner-User vs. Investment True Meaning
As I look through listings of commercial offices for sale, I see some of them listed as "Sale Type: Owner User" and some are listed as "Sale Type: Investment".
My question is - is this a marketing thing or a true determination of what purpose they can be bought for?
As an investor, should I not even consider the Owner-User listings or is that just a marketing thing where the broker is suggesting a best use? Are Owner-User listings restricted to only owner use in some way?
Thanks!

@DeWitt Gibson if the owner currently occupies the property it is normally listed as "Owner User" however many times it is labeled as "Owner User" just because it is vacant and they are unable to lease it!
