Are you looking for pure commercial properties or large multi families (5+ units)?

NO emotions here, strictly math.By pure happenstance, we ran into a different property that seems to make sense financially, but is a little more scary then we thought we were ready for.Local to us, a commercial/residential building is for sale. 4 store fronts street level, 2 apartments upstairs, and 1 large unit upstairs that needs a little rehab to be leased out, as it was occupied on and off by the owners kids for many years.The 4 retail units, and the 2 residentials are all spoken for with good leasing history.

It's value is purely what comparable sales in the area say it is worth.I understand that this might make it sell faster or for a little more than its worth.

At the same time investing purely for appreciation is risky and speculative since you never know what the market will do.

You just can only have one FHA loan at a time and they can only be for owner-occ (or house hacking) properties, not pure rentals.

Calculate how much pure profit you would make selling the property (ie. closing costs when you bought it, closing cost when you sell it, repairs, etc.).

@Frank Jiang agree 100% that while they pitched this as market making and it could have been more of a pure play like you described.

Yes, you can rent rooms or rent the property after the occupancy period, but you can't have more than one FHA loan or use them for pure investment from day one.

Well, that's $160 in purely junk fees, straight into VACASA's pocket. 

-I don't NEED the cash, but would prefer not having to rely on purely a 1031 exchange to use the money to buy deals due to the tight timelines for identifying and closing.
