The more people I help, my net worth through RE keeps getting larger 8 apartment complexes and 122 front doors total and counting.Swanny

@Michael FaudoaIf you invest sweat equity in a partnership, the accounting for it can get pretty complex. 

At the apartment complex where I worked (in CO), we replaced the carpet in the units after 5 years due to normal wear and tear.

Having useful amenities will help you get complexes rented. 

I primarily/ultimately want to get into multi-family complexes and am unsure as to whether I should aim for some (section 8) SFH in Baltimore City to build up my capital/equity.

Find a 10 or more door apartment complex and get it financed with an equity partner where the equity partner pays all closing costs say 15% equity to them. 

What is the best way to get updated on 20+ unit apartment complexes hitting the central Texas market?

Just remember that every level of complexity you add in the beginning will make it harder for you to get help in the future.

I am looking into buying a small apt complex in the $1m-$2m range and was wonder how people find deals on these.

I have used sites like zillow, realtor.com, and craigslist as a reference but prefer something that lists past rental listings as well.I've considered rentometer but know its based on average/median rents so a lot of apartment complexes are included when I am more interested in SF homes and duplex rental rates.Thanks!
