If you look at the "sold" properties a good majority of them are larger homes. 

Commercial encompasses large multifamily buildings, hotels, industrial, office, retail, development, self storage,etc.All of us that are commercial brokers specialize in an asset class and deal size range.If you are looking for larger multifamily or retail STNL or MTNL product it's all I do.

@Kris HaskinsI've been using the same two page contract to tie up millions of dollars of real estate for years....I'm sure that statement won't ever come back to haunt you.

I've always heard that smaller more regional banks and credit unions MAY work with you, and that the larger ones are impossible to buy from prior to the property hitting the market. 

Stay in one unit for two years and then sell if you want and take the gain from that unit tax free and 1031 exchange the gain from the other unit into another larger or more than one smaller properties.  

Great statement.

Usually you bring a cashier's check with you to closing.Get a copy of the settlement statement at least 3 days prior to closing to look over all the final details of the transaction and make sure there are no errors.  

If you want a tie-breaker,  you can hire a structural engineer for around $400 - they will give you a clear statement as to what is needed.Also, be sure to consider the age of the house and where you are lifting e.g. near a bath, kitchen or other potential drain line) - if it is an older house and has cast iron pipes, you will probably have some plumbing work when you are done lifting. 

@Michael Kennedy if you are talking about homes that have been converted to multi-family spaces, I would say either the Highlands or Old Louisville...those spaces have larger older homes that in many cases were converted to have multiple living spaces inside.

I would also like to get into larger apartment units in the future, as my company grows.
