Negative cash flow is difficult especially on more extensive tenant turn overs or when dealing with a PIA tenant.  

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

My extensive real estate experience consists of 1 flip.I have an idea and I'd like to test the waters here in the forums.

I’ve got extensive experience in multi family residential ……………….

The three ways to handle the risk are (1) gaining knowledge and experience in both investment in general and in the area you’re investing in specifically (2) extensive due diligence and when the inevitable bad outcomes occur despite (1) and (2) then (3) diversification.  

Also having a higher proportion of revenue generated through the residential component of the building does make financing easier. (3) The exception to the 80% rule I abide by is when the commercial space is leased to a credit tenant with a proven & sustainable business  or where the space presents the opportunity to attract a neighborhood amenity F&B operator (this is most beneficial in instances where you have a larger localized portfolio where these commercial tenants can positively impact the value of your overall residential portfolio).

Its infrequent but there are the rare instances that the tenant doesn't move in due to a job change or whatever.

For instance my 90 lot subdivision at one point I had 90 legal descriptions and parcels on one master deed.. as I sold them off we just deeded them out separately.. its super common especially in older platted cities were lots might have been small like 25 X 100 and someone bought 3 of them and then built one home on all three.. some places they force merge them others you can go back and recreate the Old lots of record.. there is millions upon millions made by those that know how to find shadow plats and bring to life underlying parcels.

I have a property under contract and need to know could I get an extension with HUD if I’m an investor?
