Take advantage of the first look period (Freddie Mac has a parallel program as well).Outside of that, there are a bunch of subscription services...if you are looking for an early jump, Zillow has moderately accurate pre-foreclosure data...I would ultimately recommend ListSource, but it's pricey (my minimum commitment is $1,800/yr)...or try ZBuyer. 

Commercial loan is a little more expensive in terms of rates and points as it will NOT be sold to Fannie Mae/Freddic Mac as residential loan will do ultimately.

It's a Wells Fargo loan and I was told last year that I couldn't do the Harp style refi because it was with Freddie Mac and I had too many loans.I recently received a letter from them saying they would refi it to 4.875% on a ten or 15 year, or 5.75% on a 30 year.

In addition to @Scott Mac's input, you could advertise it as storage (with a lease that spells out the don'ts) or look for ways to subdivide it in to smaller "storage only" spaces.Hope this helps,

That is a hard Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac rule.  

I would otherwise qualify because i recently got married and am looking for a larger property.Refinancing to a conventional loan requires 15% equity plus costs.And the Freddy Mac Homepossible changed at the beginning of the year to require 15% down for a 2-4 unit.Am I missing something?

And while we aren't there we had a pretty big announcement today after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a new 50bps loan pricing adjustment on all refinance loans purchased on or after September 1st – so basically, nearly every loan that is being refinanced by them.The move, obviously meant to "help" our struggling, coronavirus-weakened economy, comes at the directive of the FHFA and is meant to curb the “higher risk and costs” associated with refinance mortgages (yeah, right).

Quote from @Scott Mac: Well, if you decide you want to believe this stuff, you could always by in Denver, or along the Arizona Bay.
