Comps have been in the $140k-$150k range so I like to think I created about $20k in equity.

What price range are your target properties in?

Until you get to VERY large (near $1mm range) your credit score is likely to be pulled for each deal, commercial or not. 

I've had my current job for 2 1/2 yrs making 75K per year and have a clean background but before I had my current job I was unemployed for a while and ended up filing for bankruptcy causing my credit to take a huge nose dive (sub 500 range). my Question is: to avoid the credit requirement (I wouldn't be able to find a co-signer) would I be able to put an entire lease down as a security deposit and pay my rent as usual so long as my income qualified?

I’m interested in multi family in the $1-1.5m range.

From several contractors I've asked, I'm getting a  pretty wide range of pricing per sq. ft. for comparable builds.

I've noticed zillow buying up a few homes in the mid range category, which is around 200-350k in the midwest.

@Martin Vilarino what's your budget / price range?

And aren't we talking about only institutional insurers on the other side, and big policies (in the $10-100mm range)?

.”$75 was based on general ranges suggested by other landlords in that area.
