I have been involved in the past about sales managing and maintaining commercial properties as well as construction projects into retail, banking, movie theaters, and a hotel.For about a year I have been watching and listening to a gentleman that has about 25 years in the experiencing of successful real estate buying and selling apartment complexes and currently owns almost 5,000 apartment units. 

I've seen numerous posts on which City, State, Area, Region, etc. is best to invest in.

No one knows but assuming you have numerous units, not just a single SFH, positive cash flow and reserves being leveraged or not is relatively unimportant.

“We had interest from all over—numerous groups from New York and California,” said Finley Askin, associate director at SVN Chicago Commercial, the brokerage hired to sell the buildings.

@Jason Howell Hi Jason, I read once that you should come up with a specific numeric goal for a time frame (month, year, etc).

I'd start with reading the numerous posts from the past on this topic.

Always do a title search, watch out for properties that have been TD numerous times and also filtered through large hedge funds, I recently encountered a nice 2.61 acre piece in a rural area I was going to buy from owner before it went back to the auction.

Numerous real-estate events I have attended seem to have an upsell to them to the next course that cost an outrageous amount.

We plan on doing this a number of times to acquire numerous paying notes and funds.But my question is, should we run this through a business of some kind?

I have called numerous banks about tons of houses and they had zero interest in speaking with me.
