Here is a blog where I wrote about a recent 42 unit we bought and did creative things to add value. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/bought-multi-million-dollar-apartment-complex-age-26/Just a few ways to produce ancillary income:- Laundry Coin laundryDetergent/laundry essentials in a vending machine in the common area laundry rooms.Rent individual W/D to each unit-Parking Garage parkingCovered parkingprime spot parkingJust plain old charge for parking-Renovations Interior units upgradesCommon area renovationExterior upgrades for curb appeal-Vending machines In common areas such as exercise room, pool house, laundry or leasing office-Trash pick up service In high-end buildings they have a service where you can set trash outside your door and for a fee maintenance will go around each night and collect it so the resident doesn't have to carry it to the dumpster.

Such of renting/owning is called house hacking - you can search for it on the blog for more details and information. 

That can set you up for predatory dealing.Read the blog on BP "How To Develop A Good BS Meter" That will tell you where to begin in real estate and investing. :)  

Specific information about that is in the BP forums, blogs and podcasts.

welcome @Mark GreenMake sure you listen to all the podcasts, read the blogs and books on BP. 

Found a great blog for any other newbies out there looking to analyze deals.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/09/18/analyze-a-real-estate-deal/

Went through the Free Course here on bigger pockets and have been listening to the podcasts/reading the blogs daily. 

Of course I utilized all the great info here on BP (podcasts, blogs, posts, calculator, etc.).  

I also wanted to let you know that I checked out your website Philly Home Investor as well as blog and all it has done is pushed me even more to get into wholesaling and I strongly believe I am going in the right direction because I do believe in a lot of what you are talking about when it comes to the professionalism.

Honestly, just from browsing the forums here on BP, listening to the podcasts, reading a lot of the great blogs, tuning in to the webinars @Brandon Turner puts on, and just reaching out with any questions you may have, you'll be surprised at how much you'll learn.
