Most of us are running lodging businesses in areas that are zoned residential. 

Hello everyone,My name is Matt Rulnick, and I am a Residential Real Estate Agent in Charlotte, NC.I was just introduced to this forum via an Investor Client, and look forward to getting acclimated and interacting with ya'll.If there is anything I can do to assist prospective buyers and sellers in the Charlotte, NC area, don't hesitate to reach out.Matt RulnickMatt.SearchCharlotte.com

The companies that market themselves as "garage door companies" (residential) also almost always do commercial stuff as well, such as what you are looking at.

@Pete ResendezMost residential mortgages are non-assumable. 

Those types of properties can bring in good returns, but the management can be intensive, and finding reliable tenants for both residential and commercial spaces might take some work.

@Chris Seveney as a real estate broker, more than a 100 on residential side and ~30 on commercial.

If I was the buyer's broker, I would have checked myself to protect my client.If they had, then they would have found out it was not a three family.Its a valid point.In NM, our zoning / city doesn't post # of units publicly, only high density residential or low density. 

Brian,We see a lot of "residential" investors taking on larger deductibles than they have in years past, and even more so as we see rates increasing in a hard insurance market. 

When you invest in 1-4 units residential property in the Bay Area, you are investing for the appreciation or value-add potential because most properties don't generate positive cashflow.  

I also run a mastermind on residential assisted living.
