which trec form do i use - umimproved commerical lot - or unimproved lot contract , planning to build apartments - looking for an example -i am real estate broker looking , i usually do residential only -- 

@Greg DowneyI was talking with a commerical portfolio lender today and was basically rejected because of my income not being quite high enough.

@Mark Creason is there a forum or a info page on BP that you could refer me to to get a list of basic steps in every commerical real estate deal?

I got started by working for a commerical/multi family company and than using my W2 to leverage my income. 

I have also included interest on LOC, which, assuming the property appraises out after, would not be included, so about $18,000 cash flow.I understand this would be a commerical loan 5/1 ARM.I am expecting to put about 30K into this, would buy for 130K with these calculations for an all in of 160K.What am I missing?

Way back in the stoneage when I started out as an office manager in a real estate office, we had 30 agents, and were the largest office in Redding, CA at the time. 25 agents were residential, selling and listing homes in the 100k range (which were nice houses) There were 5 agents that focused on commerical listings and sales.

I work for Marcus and Millichap, a commerical investment brokerage company, as an assistant that specialize in Multi Family Homes.

And specify if you’re looking for commercial (like buying the Taco Bell building with a triple-net lease) or a 5+ unit commerical multifamily building.

Let's say that, through improvements and raised rents, I've increased the value of the home by 10%—so it's appraised at $110,000.Actually, a triplex would more commonly be valued based on comparable sales, as opposed to the income method that larger commerical multi-family properties are usually evaluated by.

I've always been attracted to SFRs over commerical, multi-family, and apartments.
