That's something I have to coach my borrowers about.Looking ahead is way more complex than that. 

There’s an apartment complex for sale about 30 minutes from my home.

@Allison PanilaWhat I haven't seen brought up is the kind of relationship your friend has with the landlord.When I lived in an apartment complex, I made sure to have good relations with all members of their staff.

My opinion is coming from buying multifamily complexes 100+ units point of viewIf passively investing, I would look for:-Strong operator-Strong team around the operator ex.

In the small town I'm from, between Houston and Austin, there are apt complexes but none that are selling.

@Kobi WalshExpenses look way low on a property like that and How on earth are you closing for 1500 bucks on a half million dollar apartment complex?

I actually pay for heat at the complex so I’m trying to cut down costs.

I would much rather have a 15-20 unit complex and put it with a property manager.

If you choose to buy apartment complexes you will have 1 address instead of 20 with homes.Know that there is good debt and bad debt. 

We have an apartment complex that is 40 units.
