I am currently looking at purchasing a 19 unit apartment building..For example, I am trying to figure out what the common lending terms are like: What is the min I would be able to put down (assuming in the 15-30% down range)?

Thank you for this mini-course!

I can still find a used one here and there sometimes but we are going to probably flip over to ductless mini-split systems. 

Our goal would be to do owner occupied for 1 year and house hack each of the units as each tenant moved out and then raise the rents after mini renovation.  

Hunters Point  the one over by the cow palace, the one were OJ simpson grew up.. probably about 20 of them most in prime locations.. and all turned into mini ghettos.they now for the most part have all been torn down and repositioned.maybe if Portland wants to create housing for low income they simply need to do the same. the CITY needs to build it and provide it and run it.. why force it on private enterprise.. private enterprise just leaves the market..

With such a major barrier such as a 4 lane street/mini-highway there, I can see why the comps are located on the other side since that side has SFR's and your side seems to be loaded with commercial buildings/businesses.

We did a refi on a mini-storage and the lender went back five years looking at income.

A deal I'm in did a refi on a mini storage last year.

Despite only working the residential side of things so far, I have been trying to educate myself on all matters commercial as well, and at least be familiar with terminology and the differences etc...So to my questions really, I recently met with a gentleman who I talked with (a commercial builder and investor) who said he has designed and built several mini storage facilities (primarily outdoor space).

I try and make the call back within 1 hour,  if that is not possible I should be able to email, text, facebook within 30 min.  I
