Commercial Real Estate
Good evening everyone,
I am still relatively new to RE investing, but have a few residential deals under my belt. I am really interested in making the jump into small apartment complexes (6-24 units) and would like to try and close on one by the end of 2021. I have read a few books, but just asking to see if anyone has any specific must read books on this topic or has a recommendation on a coaching/ mentorship program that isn’t a 10k guru program. Just looking to learn from and network with like minded people, as well as have some guidance along the way as I hopefully close on an apartment deal. I am also investing in the Toledo, Dayton, and Cincinnati area as well. Thanks everyone!

I started with a house hack on a double and now I just purchased a 24 unit here in Columbus, Ohio. It happened pretty naturally for me. I was purchasing duplexes, then quads, then 6 units, then boom a 24.
I think as long as you get experience, a good local mentor, and the right deal you will be fine!
