When you have studied your market properly you should be able to provide the answer of if single family or residential multifamily is better for cash flow. 1% rule was for a time when almost all deals were decent as a way to rule out the lessor deals and concentrate on the best deals.

I'll never stop investing in rentals though and providing properties for my investor friends.

@Adam Newman you will want to confirm this with the bank but you can’t take a loan out to borrow for part of the down payment so you’ll need to provide all the funds yourself or have a gift from someone for that which you don’t have.If you have a gift from someone to bridge the 20%, that would be ideal.  

I like the location and the price is 650kFor mixed use properties as you describe (and I'd assume is located on SW 10th St.), I'd recommend that the residential units fully cash flow the loan as my experience is that mixed use properties are tougher to finance as most lenders tend to prefer one or the other and something in the middle gets more difficult.For example, and granted I don't know anything about the area/neighborhood, I would expect this property (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/111-NW-Har...) to be easier to finance than the mixed-use property you mentioned. 

This led me to researching schools in my area that provided degrees in construction.

He doesn't personally provide the coaching but it's done by his partners (Thomas Lorini in my case). 

Then there’s fraud or misrepresentation, where borrowers inflate project values or provide false documentation.

**Mixed Feelings**: I do have mixed feelings about the program overall.
