Sellers, this is your moment to get creative—focus on pricing smartly and making upgrades that will set your property apart from the competition.

At a certain point, I fell in love with real estate and wanted to be a part of a team that was finding the deals.

She is having the mail forwarded from her ex apartment, but I cannot track that or know when she has received it.

There are a lot of reasons that is a bad idea.On the other hand, if you could buy the entire condo and turn it into a small apartment, there may be an opportunity. 

The team has a Lead Realtor who I contacted given her experience in multi-units in Houston.

Sorry if I didn't gather from your initial comment, but does this scenario still avoid the primary issue of being named as a part owner, losing us the step up in basis later on down the line? 

Looking forward to engaging with you all and being a part of this incredible community!

I am currently in the market for a small apartment building (10 to 18 units).

U can have apartment complex's that are 100% subsidized and those are free market properties NOT low income govie bond issue type deals like we see here.
