Apartment complex as first investement?

[Marc-Andre Bordeleau]

Hey guys, 23 year old newbie here looking for some feedback on buying his first deal. Has anyone here done this: Buying an apartment complex as their first real estate investment? Any success stories, failures, what to look out for, how did you fund the deal, etc.. I've been looking for a deal in my area but haven't had any luck yet. When I do see a deal I want to be ready to attack and close the deal quick. 

Any tips and/or feedback is appreciated guys. Thanks!
