@David McKeeAccording to the latest reports (transaction volume trailing 12 months), multifamily about 35% of the market, office 30%, industrial 14%, retail 12%

I’m trying to get into another house hack but small multi-familes are hard to come by especially with the latest asking prices for those so I am doing research with a new strategy. 

They haven't paid since November and the latest statement showing late fees is just north of $11k.
