First, it could help you qualify as a real estate professional, which allows for greater tax deductions on your real estate activities.

Now I am a certified real estate appraiser.

It will be not only complex (but doable) to secure financing for it, but the real issue is that if you ever want to sell it, it will be super difficult for prospective buyers to secure financing unless they are seasoned investors which limits your potential buyer pool and potentially your offloading price.

I've looked into investing in real estate for quite some time.

People who purchased cottages a few years ago may be losing a great deal of money trying to sell them right now.

I just purchased my first Short Term rental and am looking into Smart Home Devices.

Demand, quality of tenants, etc.According to my analysis should give a 12% CoC return but this is my first commercial property purchase just like some insight or if I should pursue other forms of commercial real estate. 

Real estate investing is not rocket science, buy some books here on BP and don't pay anyone for their system!

For auction properties, I'm assuming once I purchase a property I can draft and record the deed of trust following recordation of the conveyance?

We would like to purchase as a owner-occupied, to get a lower rate and to put a downpayment of only 10%.
