2-4 families included with the Apartment & Commercial Forum

Not sure that I understand why 2-4 family properties and apartments are aggregated in the same forum...or why they are grouped in a Commercial forum.  I've always considered 1-4 family to be residential and 5+ to be commercial.  They are very different classes from one another...mostly financed differently, often managed differently, and are serviced by different vendors.  I see posts in the Commercial forums, go view the post, and they are largely about 2-4 family residential properties.  Just a casual observation...not a big deal.

@Mike Dymski

I've always interpreted the presence of posts concerning residential properties in the commercial, Multifamily and Apartment Investing Forum, to be an accidental occurrence - out of inexperience or ignorance - and not an "official" categorization.
