Trying to pick up an apt building...

[Leo Goykhman]

hey BP

I'm interested in purchasing an apartment building but not sure on a couple things. 

1) how do I get in front of "tired landlords?"

2) is the better strategy to buy and sell the building, or buy and hold? I'm going to hit up a few investors and I'm trying to get clarity on what's more attractive?

I may be interested in picking up one building, 6-12 units- but how do I scale that? Meaning if I get a 6 unit property, and my gameplan is to own a share in several much bigger buildings how do I "get started with the right strategy?"

Any advice from seasoned vets would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Leo

As to number one, if you see a for rent sign on a building you like call and tell them you are not interested in renting but in buying the building.  I made a call like that two weeks ago and to my suprise after the guy hung up on me the first time, he just called me back today.
