Hi Josh,
I'm a bit late to the party. It sounds like you have thought this out really well. My advice would be to look into other options other than an SBA loan. It can seem attractive upfront, and certainly the banks want to convenience you of that (due to the fees added), but there are better, and cheaper routes to go with lending on a property with a $1M + loan amount.
I'm a commercial mortgage broker so I deal with multiple types of loan options. The first step is to thoroughly underwrite the loan and determine the best course of action. Even if you don't want to move forward with a broker, please, shop at other banks and get other options other than SBA.
Feel free to reach out via PM here. All the best,
Cassandra

Hi Jacob,
I agree it depends on multiple factors. There are several types of options and not just with banks. What type of property is it? what is the purchase price and do you have information about the historical financials?

I agree with Alina, if you can buy bigger, then do it. It really depends on the market and the asset though. You'd have to make sure the numbers work for you. But the larger, the more income potential. I would definitely focus on 5 - 10 units. In addition, financing for 5 + units is much easier because 4 and under are not strictly commercial financing and have different loan programs.
I'm a commercial mortgage broker so have a lot of experience with this type of thing. PM me if you want to chat more! Happy to answer any questions.
