"A lease option (more formally Lease With the Option to Purchase) is a type of contract used in both residential and commercial real estate.

Meaning that the multifamily must go into my personal name.If I quitclaim the property to the LLC after closing escrow on a commercial loan, I have heard such action could trigger a “due on sale” clause whereby my total loan amount could become due and/or I could be required to pay a prepayment penalty.Without the LLC, my tax structure is less favorable and I am exposed to personal liability.Any guidance on this situation?

I was once a commercial loan agent in a prior lifetime.

Hello BP,I need a commercial real estate appraisser covering the Houston TX area.The property is located in spring Texas and the appraisal is needed urgently.Any recommendation is greatly appreciated.Thank you all.

I received an interesting proposition today - if I find a tenant for a commercial property then I'll get paid a "finder's fee" by the owner.

In any case, you really shouldn't need to ask us what to do with $1 million plus more to come - you should ask yourself "If I had access to $1 million in a credit line, what would I do with that money?"

However, because 2-4 unit buildings are considered multi-family residential, not multi-family commercial as is the case with 5+ unit buildings, (although a 2-4 unit will still be considered commercial for property tax purposes) you can owner-occupy up to a 4-unit. 

@Daniel Urban, a commercial property's value is based on how much money it IS generating, not how much it COULD be under ideal circumstances (there are exceptions, of course).If you're serious, I would determine it's value based on the information you have and generate an offer based on that.
