Hi everyone,
I am just wondering what everyone`s opinion is regarding investing in residential multi- family (1- 4 units) vs commercial multi- family (5+ units)? Specifically, I am quite new to real estate investing. I have read alot regarding the literature and feel like it`s time to take the leap of faith
. However, I do lack the experience. That said, I am thinking of investing in a multi- family in winnipeg. I don`t plan on managing the property myself as I live in Edmonton and therfore hope to hire a good property manager and do my own regular due dilligence. Regarding capital, I have roughly 100,000 cash or so to invest so should I stick with a residential loan (4 units or less) or go for a commercial (5 units or more). Am I getting ahead of myself? I was thinking of buying a fourplex or two. However, I was also thinking of focusing on maybe something bigger (8 units with more cash flow). I have heard differing theories on this.
Please let me know your opinions
Thanks alot
Josh
