Buying an apartment to rent out

[Joseph Lewis]

Hey there I'm contemplating purchasing an apartment for a rental property. I'm interested in hearing some pros and cons of buying and apartment vs condo, townhouse etc. What is the downside to buying a single apartment? I'm sure it can go both ways, but I'm also curious as to if my tenants will be able to call the office for maintenance problems or if I would still handle that. Thanks in advance!!
