Hey @Mike Chmielewski - This is a bit of a grey area, but realistically, if this is your first home, & within commutable distance to your employer, and you'd like to owner occupy it, that's a really straight forward transaction.People move for legitimate reasons quickly all the time - (Job location change, not comfortable in the area, opportunity to move into a single family, etc.)Happy to chat a bit further about this offline.

Before calling the loan officers and setting up an appointment, go to their website and search locations, start with the bank that has the fewest  branch locations.

The door is located in the garage so maybe that's why it's different.

For example, the tax savings on a four plex that is only renting 3 units would be higher than average because it would look like I am taking large losses from the unit, when the losses are offset by savings from rent in another location. 

You inject 35% /cash into the project & the lender will finance 65% LTC, set a maximum purchase price, pick a specific location, and property type. 

Well-located Fort Collins neighborhood.

If you are referring to "commercial" as in multi-family, I would suggest you choose an attorney in the state where the property is located.

Then locate some commercial lenders, recommend some local and regional banks and tell them whats going on and what your plan is. 

With Amazon's annoucement today that it will locate its HQ2 to NY and DC, what are your thoughts?
