Logic of any kind has a very small role in making the IRS rules. 

When I sell commercial multifamily, about 50% of the time my buyer pays me directly and about 50% of the time we include in our offer that the seller pays my fee.

Hi all,Can I use a FHA loan on a small multifamily (2-4 units), as long as I live in one of the units for at least 12 months?

I manage 8-12 unit buildings in Logan Square, Albany Parka and Irving Park, and we have had issues with porches even at that small sample size.  

Direct marketing How did you finance this deal?

The program had a very small sample size as there weren't many participants + as you mentioned, renovation/conversion costs were extremely high for landlords.For your question, an architect would be a great contact.

To put things in perspective, I have sold about fifty small lot tract maps throughouth LA over the past 15 years. 

Maybe focus only on condos or small townhomes first.

@Cristian Estremera Duplex, small multi family 3-4 unit, or commercial multi family 5+ units.

Was the $10,000 credit directly from the Seller side?
