I think a lot of folks are sitting on or building up cash reserves as rates have squeezed a lot of the potential cash flow opportunities of years past. 

HELP :) can you split the lot?

It’s hard to really get good at it without doing a lot of deals because the licensing course doesn’t teach you much about actually being an agent, that comes from doing lots of deals and learning by doing it every day.

The main thing I see when coming across this is deferred maintenance.

Just need the land.

The first apartments I rented as the owner, were previously rented by the former owner at $150 month including utilities. 

@Franklin PerezGetting your real estate license can be a smart move if you want MLS access, networking opportunities, and savings on commissions, but it comes with costs and disclosure requirements.

@Ken M. rents are softening in the places that have had a lot of new units come on line.  

If you're thinking of denser development, you can split the lot and go for up to 4 units across 2 parcels.
