That's hard, because they represent great long term B&H investments and REI's scoop'm up like candy.The best way is to  get a Commerical Buyer's Agent and have them bird-dog for you. 

My main goal is to transition out of residental property and move in to the commerical properties. 

I don't know what commerical loans are like, can't find solid information on it yet.

The duplex I found I did some research on for the property (taxes, etc) and previous owner deed and mortgage records (public records) and there is a statement in the mortgage papers:THIS IS COMMERICAL PROPERTY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE THE HOMESTEAD OF THE MORTGAGOR HEREIN.I'm focusing on the "COMMERICAL PROPERTY"......Up to now I was not thinking that duplexes were considered commercial property....There are triplex units and quads and of course jumping into the 10-20 units and those I though were considered commercial.I guess if I step back and look at the fact that the dwelling houses multiple tenants, then yes I can see it being classified as commercial.I can't find anything on the county appraisers web site for the records of this property that indicate "commercial".

Hello BP members, I am looking for a professional who can help me understand how to buy my first investment property, I am looking to have a multiunit 5+ commercial, financing is my problem, what would someone advise ...

lastly make sure you protect your self on the commission these are not MLS deals usually and you MUST write your commission in on the sales contract that the seller signs.I have seen brokers get screwed out of their commish at the end when they thought it was like a resi transaction... and the other broker took both sides since the procuring broker did not put in a commish demand... its cut throat out there in Commerical.. for sure.. but I am sure you will get it worked out...

Prioritize and narrow-cast on experimenting with the BRRRR method, buy-hold, single family, multi-unit and eventually some commerical properties (to assist new church storefront start-ups, a personal passion of mine as a church planter).  

Can anyone refer a Good Small Commercial lender in Northern New Jesey that will handle a six unit property?

You don't want to have a commerical multifamily listed for $2M, give tours, release financials, answer questions, and then get an offer of "$750K but need owner financing and can only put $5K down."

I live in Memphis, but own very little MF in Memphis, rather we own ours in Little Rock (I own a large portfolio of SF and Commerical in Memphis).
