Considering a 5 unit property, what are challenges from 4 plex?
Hi BP Team,
I'm working on purchasing my first property now. I am focusing on 2-4 unit multi-family properties, however a few 5 unit properties are showing up too. I know financing is different as it is considered commercial, but outside of that are there any major legal or code differences when you move up to 5 units? Fire codes, regulations, restrictions, or any other issue I may run into that is different from the 2-4 unit properties? Thanks in advance for any feedback you have.
