You might be able to adopt a ten unit complex that has one legal description to a residential contract with addendums addressing multiple issues, like appliances in ten units.If it's commercial, as in motel, car wash, café, office, strip-center, etc. you better get with a commercial broker and negotiate a buyer's fee or see your attorney.

I am am member of NAIOP Seattle (which is more geared towards development), ICSC Seattle (which is more geared towards shopping centers/retail), CCIM Seattle (which is a commercial real estate group which is great knowledge for indepth underwriting) but also attend local events for LANS, RHA and REAPS.

You may have arguments with your spouse regarding the time commitment, the calls from tenants (if you are renting properties), and the list could be long.

My mom, dad and me had an agreement that we were going to sell our current home, pool our resources together including savings and retirement accounts and buy rental properties out of state (most of the money belongs to me but it is mingled with my parents funds).

My wife and I bought our first home out here in Center City which turned me onto real estate, but quickly opened my eyes to the difference between an asset and a liability.

If so, whose name belongs on the account, etc.Or an escrow company (which I'm thinking is synonymous with title company?

Would you be closer to or farther from the "population center"...few customers will drive past one facility to get to another one unless you give them a real good reason to. 

I've never seen it be longer or shorter than that time frame.

They tend to be longer-term investments however and, in my view, are not suitable for use with a HELOC.

The area where this property is located is decent area very close to almost anything from shopping centers to hospitals to highways etc.
