I’ve ‘lurked’ boards, read books and blogs but just haven’t been able to actually make a move beyond a personal traditional real estate purchase.

a majority of the bigger pockets community would agree that multifamily (aka apartment) investing is more lucrative and scalable than single family investing. you are in the right place to find out more about multifamily investing, search the blogs and forums to find all the information you will need.

Check out my blog article on this as well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10145/72001-ge...

I have written about this topic extensively, much of it on the BP blog ;)

I ran across a great blog that outlined the process quite well.

Also, she's written extensively on this topic for the BP blog.

I read through some of your blog posts and downloaded your podcast for the commute home tonight - I got some great information from the lessons you learned from closing on an out-of-state apartment; especially around the due diligence process and financing.
