Quote from @Dustin Street:

@Rodney Harris It seems like you found yourself a winner with that one. You said that was your first commercial deal, do you usually do residential then?

If so, how would you compare your success with this commercial deal compared to success with your residential deals?

I’m only doing commerical. I only do residential to live for free 😂.

Commerical more upside, more income, and better management. We are operating at 35% expense ratio so I’m really happy with the deal!

I like commerical in that it's based off the NOI and not off what units like it sold for. Well it is but that's not the main determinant for it

@Rodney Harris damn!  this sounds like a great deal.  Are you mostly doing LTR or are you also utilizing Medium term given the proximity to the hospital?  Congrats on the upsize!

Post: 4plex on 4 different tax lots

So I am trying to buy this fourplex to move into.

They were all assessed separately and on 4 different tax lots. I talked to the city and they sent me a paper I could send to combine them. One problem, I can’t get them combined until new tax values come out in March but most likely April!

I want to buy the whole building as one loan, I do not want to pour in 5 to 6 figures on 4 units. I would rather put a low down payment on it and move in!

Has anyone ever been in this situation I’ve talked to brokers and bankers they keep telling me i have to fha one unit and investor loan the others!


Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m actually working on one right now. So far all they have told me was to Get a document filled out and that they would change it when new tax values came out. Easier said then done, I’ll return back here if I end up closing the property before then!
