Thoughts on Mixed Properties? are they good investments or stay away from them?

[Gregory Martin]

Hey Guys, what are your thoughts on Mixed properties. For example a duplex with a commercial front store? I am new to real estate, if the numbers make sense should I consider buying one as my first rental property or should I only focus on regular 2-4 units? if 5-10 years later I wanna get rid of them how easy would it be? Any insights, tips or advise would be helpful. thanks

Mixed properties can definitely be good investment opportunities but as far as financing goes- your options will be much more limited overall.
