Apartment building and multi-family deal structuring

[Thomas D.]

Hello to everyone. I am looking for advice on  purchasing a course on learning all phases of  structuring deals for apartment buildings and multi-family properties. There is a ton of info out there, which can be intimidating and confusing. I am looking for members advice on the best course to buy, I have multiple single family  rental properties in the Cleveland,Ohio area, and I am looking to get into the apt building area of investing. I was looking at Ray alcorns course for $599.00 But I need grounds up education, and a course that definatley reflects 2014/2015 market conditions. Thanks much for any advice.

Before spending/squandering your downpayment funds on a "guru" course {if you are going to enrol in a college/university course, it's a different kettle of fish}, spend sometime searching, reading and digesting the forum history and blogs here at Bigger Pockets.  There are plenty of folk here with ample experience purchasing small to mammoth size apartment buildings/complexes and other commercial real estate.

I would challenge that you can learn all the fundamentals you require to identify and successfully pursue your target type of multi-family building(s), right here for the cost of your time.

Now, a caution as you embark on this mission.  Apartment buildings in many areas of North America are over priced at the moment ... so carry with you a healthy determination to stick with your {conservative} numbers and let the foolish money do as it may.
