Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option
