In most cases, that would be true.The IRS classifies mixed-use properties as commercial unless the income from the residential portion is 80% or more of the gross rental income. So if 80% or more is residential, you treat that portion as residential and treat the remainder as commercial - treating it for tax purposes as two properties.
