Should I just choose multifamily on the application? 

If I choose 4 unit then I can use a conventional mortgage but if I jump to 6 or 8 then it’s commercial and I may need a partner.

@Steve ProiaWhat I have learned from life experience is choose a path and stick to it.If your kid was just born you have 18 years to execute your plan.Whether you choose on or the other or both, as long as you are consistent and follow your plan without fail, in 18 years you will have something $$ there to accomplish what your goal was.

I’m seeing a lot of people in the San Diego area choose to make the long commute for more comfortable living.

A whole bunch of reasonably positive options for you to choose between.

No piece of paper is preventing that and is rarely, if ever, enforceable over your freedom to choose who you want to work with.

Be selective when it comes to choosing the brokerage you want to be affiliated with and be upfront with them as to why you got your license so that you manage their expectations of you in the front end.For instance, they might start asking you to "Host Open Houses" Saturdays and you are thinking hold on a minute I didn't sign up for this?!!

So normally, if the old property was in an LLC the new property needs to be in the same LLC.However, if that LLC only has one member and it chooses to be taxed as a sole proprietor then it doesn't file a tax return. 

If you choose not to scrape loose paint you can find yourself in the same position you are now few years down the road.

Third, if there is even an annual report fee, you and choose not to file, the partners' basis are now incorrect with the IRS.
