Periodic bad news from Northern states where buyers are put into wrecks of houses and are 100% responsibile to fix all the problems. 

It's 1:00 am now and I'll be at WESH news with my wife at 8:00 tomorrow morning washing their fleet of news vans before I get to the fun Real Estate part of my day in the afternoon. 

If the house is available and ready for an early check-in, I send THEM a note early and say something like "Great news!

@Imthiaz Ahmed The 4-unit limit is I believe a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limitation: http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/news/2017/1128_loan_limits.htmlAnything beyond that, and your investment is no longer backed by the government, which is why you can get the lowest rates on conventional loans (i.e. less risk).The question to ask yourself is, is a commercial loan all that bad?
