Commercial loan for multi unit properties?

I am in the market for small multi-family units in the $200k to $400k range. I am self-employed and working as a broker for the past 10 years with income going up and down coming from commissions. Should I get pre-approved first before shopping around for multi-family units? Do I apply for a commercial loan? by grady772 from Bloomfield, Connecticut. Nov 24th 2021 Reply
