We operate a small retail business out of commercial space in the building with the 4 residential units, which pays me a W2 salary and my wife has a part time W2 job at a vet clinic. 

Hi Nicholas, glad to have you as a part of this awesome community!

- Lots of Equipment (R&D Facilities, Car Washes)- Gas Stations (100% 15 year properties)- Movable walls (self storage)You can find anywhere from 15-35% of the purchase price of a typical apartment complex is this type of property.More of it means less tax for you from higher depreciation amounts!

For example, in Illinois, you need 75% approval from the unit owners to convert a condo building into rental apartments.

I want to start wholesaling apartments because it seems to give off much more profit then residential.

That’s a part of what these forums are for.

They put you on teams (which you have to pay to be a part of, that's the other thing I'll talk about in a bit), but the teams are none other than cheerleaders to just tell you "You can do it".  

The other apartment windows & balcony facing the bedroom will not be as appealing as some of the other photos offered on the listing.Also, the first 5 photos are the most important.

So if you buy and rent out a retail center or an apartment building or increase the existing income the property is going to be worth more and can be refinanced easier.
