@Jason Hall Love the reference of "NFIP being silly" I agree.

@Robert Carpenter IN your question you didn't clarify whether you're referring to smaller multi-family (residential ones) or 5+ (commercial ones)?!

get an FHA 3.5% down " an expert is some one who can see past the obvious path and helpIf you are going to open market , try to get referrals from your agent , contractor or any body who is in real estate business - Also keep in mind  that there are lot of lenders/brokers who change the terms at the last moment , so even if you hear what you want to hear initially - make sure you have references and a solid backup

If you want shoot me a DM and I can refer an agent to you in your area.

I don't know how much commission is involved but you may want to refer them to a local agent instead of spending a whole day plus gas for a lease, unless the commission is worth it. 5.

You should be asking your GC for a sample scope of work and talking to his references.

Hi @Stephen Kuntz,What are you referring to? 

State laws vary state to state but title companies should be able to tell you what is required and if it must be handled by an attorney they can refer one.

I feel like it is an obstacle, but maybe there is a simple solution to the 4 unit residential-5 unit commercial cut off line that I am not figuring out.

The TIC that others have referred to stands for tenants in common.
