Cash out Refi property located in Northern NJ, and hypothetical purchase mixed use or multi family apartment building located  in Brooklyn most likely. 

If mixed in with your deposits and reserve funds, you may accidentally spend money you shouldn't have. 

Hi All,I would appreciate thoughts/ considerations/ cautions for analyzing a mixed use property that has a duplex with a regular apartment next to a small storefront that's soon to be vacant?

Ideally, I'd like to continue investing in that market and have a mix of LTR and MTR.

I agree, it is mixing concepts.  

Unit size is obviously going to be very local dependent so unit mix/# of units will vary widely.

I am looking at a mixed use property and I am not too familiar with the loan options available. 

Depends on what you consider a "great" rental....are you looking for appreciation, cash flow, a mix of both?

Just the age of the properties is a downside and I need to understand the tenant demand and mix better. 

I also love education that I can get for free or paid so why not mix it up.
