Hi all,I'm still scouting for my first deal, and I came across a commercial multifamily (7 units + 2 stores) that is out of state (NY, I'm in CA) that looks promising.The basic numbers are:Asking price:  300kCurrently leased, bringing in 74k per yearTaxes:  8,600, but assuming 10k.I'm assuming this needs to be a commercial loan, which brings me to my first road-block - my down payment ability is limited to about 30k (I have an IRA with 60k in it that I can borrow up to 50% of).What sort of things should I be on the lookout for with this type of property (assuming I'm able to surmount the down-payment problem)?  

Excited to hear what is in store next for you.Thanks,MH

Are you going to store your old carpet and blinds?

Box stores will deliver and haul the old one away.

If you are running to the hardware store on a very frequent basis, or using your vehicle to haul significant amounts of materials, the IRS could question your level of involvement and whether you are providing services to the IRA.
