I find that the renters find it appealing when the apartment complex offers some form of move in discount as well. 

If you gain interest on the deposit, then you must pay that interest out to the tenant each year which adds to complexity and workload.Any bank should work.

There is a court process they go through which does take some time (6 months). 

My reasoning is because i realized that i want to do something, alongside my design degree, that involves building complexes (mostly commercial buildings) but im not sure with degree would be the best to do this.

We did not fund the last few million of the raise, so we are allowing the final slots to come in at up to 20% APR, fixed annual simple deferred return (deferred means you get all of your interest earnings at the end when we repay your principal – and that happens when we finish building and then sell the apartment complex).This asset is our safest MF asset, in my opinion, BECAUSE the project is backed not just by our equity in the apartments – but by our equity in the entire 54-acre land development.

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.

I'm looking into a couple large apartment complexes in Brownsville and just sent out an Loi for one of them.

There is a complex calculation to do this, but basically VA will guarantee 25% of the purchase price up to the county loan limit. 

I am now approaching 115+ days since assignment on my first 3 deals and because I am in NYS, my attorney tells me that I cannot even speak to buyer’s or seller’s attorneys due to “breach of contract”.I lost my first deal in fact because we were hindering on 130 days since assignment (should have been long closed) and the city decided to demo before we closed and were able to takeover in court.

It is zoned multi-family and I could do 14 or 15 straight townhouses but the City in question, while they immediately adopted the latest ADU rules, has archaic multi-family land-use regulations centered on a large apartment complex mentality that are costly for infill / middle housing  (1.75 off-street parking spaces per unit, major landscaping requirements, "amenity" requirements, unreasonably large setbacks, etc.).
