Looking to connect with experienced apartment investors
I'm looking to get into commercial aprtment buildings and would love to connect with individuals who are experienced. I'm looking to buy mainly in Virginia but am open to any deal in the US as long as the #'s make sense.
What are some things you should be aware of when buying you first apartment complex?
What other tips and tricks could you pass down to help someone doing their first commercial deal?

My biggest piece of advice would be to focus as much as possible. Focus on one or two markets. Focus on a narrow band of features you're looking for (Property class, physical details, property age, etc).
