MF Home or Commercial Real Estate

[Matt Ritchie]

I'm looking into purchasing a duplex (or 4) to rent. The same seller has 4 different duplexes up for sale on the same street. I've thought about maybe trying to get all 4 (8 total paying units). They are not listed to buy together but I would try to get a "package deal" of sorts.

My question is since these are all "separate" and not under the same roof, would having 8 units on the same street be considered multifamily residents or commercial real estate?

Thanks guys!
