Reading the actual guideline text below — never a general AI guess
# What "Mixed-Use" Actually Means
Here's what we're talking about: a property that serves two purposes at the same time — it's residential (someone lives there), but it also has a business or commercial use operating out of it, like a doctor's office, beauty shop, or day care facility. FHA says if it's a condo, the commercial space can't be more than 35% of the total, and for "live/work" units specifically, it can't exceed 49% commercial space. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae both allow this for single-family homes, but they require that the property stays primarily residential in nature, is in a residential neighborhood, and that the borrower actually owns and operates the business — plus they want the appraisal to carefully document how (or whether) that commercial use affects the home's value and marketability. Clark County's zoning code treats certain mixed-use setups as special permitted uses depending on the zone.
