Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

Frivolous stuff where plaintiffs were looking to get onto some sort of public assistance forever based on a fall or a stumble where one should not have fallen or stumbled.

Note: you can get commercial financing for 1-4 unit properties.When you talk to your local planning and zoning department, 2 or more units are considered multi-family.Since this discussion was about zoning, not financing it is more correct to refer to a duplex as multi-family.In my area (the area of the original poster) a conforming duplex would be zoned as multi-family with duplex as permitted use, and could be financed as residential real estate.Hopefully that clears it up.It's sort of like a tomato.
