If you are looking for commercial properties, 5 units and above (if that's what you meant by multifamily), the Loopnet is ok, but really for larger deals.

Since this can be treated as 7 different properties, can I get a conventional loan or will this still require a commercial loan?

Commercial banks like to see low leverage and they love paid for assets :)But if your W 2 and a mom and pop land lord getting your normal debt those are all computer driven formulas and there is not a big focus on balance sheet.

There is a lot more paperwork for these traditional mortgages and they will probably take 2-4 weeks longer, but you could save quite a bit in fees and rate.Otherwise, DSCR or a commercial loan is the way to go.You may be engaging in overkill if this is your first property and you are trying to put it into an LLC.

We work transaction-based deals with a commercial portfolio loan secured against our assets. 

I want to cover home and commercial sales as well as rental ownership and management. 

New construction, residential and commercial buildings are going up everywhere.

One I was able to get a commercial loan and combined 15% seller financing with 80% mortgage, for an effective 5% down.One quick note, the comment of use hard money for the downpayment and then conventional financing for the rest - this won't work. 

Reassess your path and timing, if its truly the ONLY thing you want to do in life, then get a job working for a commercial developer or an investor who buys frequently.

Hi all, I have an office in a building where it will go on sale once the owner passes. They said it is in a trust and structured so that it can't be sold until the owner's death? I'd like to approach them with purchas...
