Redfin can give you the next best thing to MLS access... it's easy hunt down a ton of properties. if you're going to play the multiple agent route, call the listing agent of the property your looking at.

Commercial loans are more expensive.At the end of the day, I believe that it is the duty of all investors to understand the pro and cons of all these different setups and to make an informed cost/benefit choice about what will make they sleep better at night.

Now we looking to go into commercial properties or buy a package of homes leveraging a loan.I like to get details on the loans avail from members here.I can give you example what we currently looking into and our situation.Credit score 680-720Cash in Hand: 60k+Own 2 LLC with multiple producing properties in each.We are looking at this 20 unit building in Detroit.

This property caught my eye for several reasonsmostly because I drive by it frequentlyit offers a commercial space, apartments, and mobile home lotsit's close to my other investments and where I liveI feel like this is an area ready to grow (it's the non-interstate link from big town to small town)it's not so expensive I can't find a way to do the dealI've been investigating mobile home investing lately, and this is one way to learn thatI don't have a physical office space for my business, and this would lend credibility to my business (and allow me to have high-speed internet, which I can't get currently)I can use an apartment and rent my SFR for morethe mixed use feels like diversificationI wouldn't be surprised to see an investor try to buy this and several other spaces up for a large developmentI see potential in possibly converting the mobiles to tiny houses and increase rents accordinglyI'm not in love with the deal, but a couple of those reasons would sway me to consider a less-than-great deal, for non-financial reasons.The numbers really look not very good, and it looks like a bad deal as it sits, considering I'm adding 1000 in rent increase and no rehab in this scenario. 

Hello, does anyone know the requisite down payment on a typical commercial loan?

A great commercial local bank and banker that you know personally can open many doors I know it has for me.I am very old school. though.. other than having my account on line..

If possible we would like to hold income-producing commercial real estate in this trust. 

They've used up their own capital and that of friends, family, and colleagues willing to invest with them but they still have access to more deals. 

We invest primarily in SFR and will begin purchasing MF and commercial properties by year end.

Little bit over 1m with commercial loan.
