Cities and towns sometimes use "commercial" for not only store fronts, industrial, etc. but also a certain # of residential units and higher.Real estate agents and appraisers usually reserve "commercial" for office/retail/industrial, basically not residential as we normally think of it.But "commercial" in the mortgage space means a certain kind of loan (e.g., adjusting every 5 years, maybe a shorter amortization and/or balloon payment), and the mortgage may or may not be secured by a residential property.So there's unfortunately no real standard for the terms.
