How to know a good/real deal

[Olivia Gulledge]

Hi. I've been talking to someone I met on a real estate online networking call. He and his partner are closing on a 180 unit apt building right outside of Houston, Texas next week. I am still very new to real estate but feel this is a really great opportunity to invest a relatively small amount of money (in the grand theme of things) and really learn from people that know what they are doing. This would be my first step in realistate. I, of course, am a little apprehensive to put a lot of money down and am a little unsure if the deal is good and if the company is reputable. Based off my research it seems sound. But is anyone willing to check out the deal and see what they think?
