But it's why people like me stay in business. 

Many of the popular companies haven't made money in years if ever. 

We're data-obsessed over here and have analyzed every zip in the US.

The transition isn't just about property size; it's about shifting your entire approach.I've observed that successful transitions typically happen when investors have:- Stabilized 5-7 single-family rentals with systems in place- Built relationships with at least 2-3 reliable lenders- Established a maintenance crew that can handle larger projects- Accumulated at least 6 months of operating expenses as reservesI asked a client of mine who owns a 420-unit multi-family in Nevada how he started his RE investment journey, and he told me that he started with a duplex in Buena Park, CA, 40 years ago and used the 1031 exchange to grow his portfolio to 420 units, never paid taxes on sale of any of his properties.The most seamless path I've seen starts with small multi-family (5-10 units) rather than jumping straight to 50+ units.

Typically, commercial properties are financed in the name of the entity that holds them.

That's awesome work, I am glad to hear that you made something out of nothing in your first deal.

Keep in mind your mortgage pricing/rate may change by doing this, so good to loop in your lender early on to let them know your intentions.
