Once your pre-approval is finalized, evaluate each property by inspecting it, confirming the rehab scope, and making offers based on realistic numbers.Drago

I own 32 properties myself and have bought and sold over 300, including a few apartment complexes.

I will be quick to admit I have only had experiences with small rentals (6 units and smaller) so if you are looking for help on larger apartment complexes I would not be a great resource.

Plenty of people invest remotely, and as long as you have modest expectations (not chasing the highest possible yield), and are using light leverage, and don't get suckered into buying in a part of town that you wouldn't feel comfortable visiting in broad daylight, plenty of people do this and do... fine.

Apart from the above contacts, I ask for an emergency contact.

Appreciate you guys in advance and it's an honor to be a part of this thing. 

Four of the DSTs are student housing in Reno, Austin, Alabama and Louisiana and two are apartments in San Diego and Houston.

You will be required to get a foundation inspection report on top of an appraisal and you are required to pay for both.That is why I said make sure you do your research because if you pay for an appraisal or foundation inspection report and its not within guide lines you will have just wasted anywhere from $650 to $1000.00 non refundable.  

I tried it in an apartment complex and it was an absolute dumpster fire and lost a lot of money.

That drive is what sets apart winners in this game.
