I like commerical multifamily so I get a value increase through raising rent (over time) and I don’t need the dirt to increase in value.

I work in Commerical real estate in NYC so the commute is one of the only red flags I can see.How is the local economy doing?

I am interested in flips and rehabs, my fiance is a commerical builder so I have access to all the subs and a free contractor :)I guess my biggest decision is...a. should I just buy a multi with a conventional loan and a large DP and hold...orb. should I buy a few flips and try to make a profit....

In common practice, commerical properties have a 5 to 7 year fixed rate with a balloon.

This deal was brought over by commerical agent I partnered with to help better walk me through commercial transaction.

@Stanci March My (limited) experience with commerical loans is that they are 5-7 year fixed with the 20-25 year amortization periods.  

I’ve done a 45 day close on a commerical multifamily 🤷🏻‍♂️ The again the property wasn’t a dumpster fire!

I only use 4 and 5 for commerical work.

I have also found it interesting that many of the successful commercial brokers I've interviewed who works in my area do not own commerical real estate investments themselves, but own either single family or multi-family homes.  

Commerical banking and loans is very different than buy and hold..
