Build a large portfolio of SFR or just buy an apartment complex?

[Jonathan Studdard]

I have liquid capital coming my way of which I'd like to put about $100,000 to work. Is this amount realistic to be considering buying an apartment complex? I want to leverage other people's money through REI, and am weighing strategies. Building a portfolio of single family residences seems like a long, tedious process of marketing to find off-market properties, BRRRR, supplemental creative finance, etc.

Can anyone with experience acquiring an apartment complex share some numbers from the deal? Anyone have a large SFR rental portfolio that wishes they would have just bought an apartment complex from the start or vice-versa? Why?

I have a couple of Duplexes and a few SFR's. Now I exploring the prospect of jumping into Large Multifamily unit, by way of syndication. My research leads to the following points to consider, if you want to be an active investor for large multiplexes.

1. If you are a beginner, as you are one, you need a mentor to walk you thru the complex process.

2. You need a team comprises of CPA, Legal, Property Managers, Lenders etc. A good Mentor will help in this process.

3. Familiarize with numbers.

4. Locate markets.

5. Many more.....
