Multi-family

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Properties, such as apartments, duplexes and others that are constructed for use by multiple family groups. Condominiums are also considered multi-family properties for some purposes.

Real estate agents and brokers would list these properties in categories such as "multi-family", "investment", or "commercial". However, condominiums, unless selling an entire project, are normally listed as "residential" properties.
