If you have a local REIA you may want to to go there and see if other members have anyone they can recommend that is investor friendly.

Joe you are not understanding a key point.Investors such as yourself DO NOT typically invest in Class A properties for the reasons stated.The cash flow returns you want are not there.Larger buildings that are Class A with Multifamily mainly comprise institutional buyers,pension funds,REIT's,Insurance companies.What those companies want to do is have security OVER cash yield.So if the CAP is 4.5% going in they can eventually increase the cap through rent increases that are outpacing annual inflation rises.Through increased rents,tax offsets yield can be increased.No it's not going to be 10% etc. but all these companies are trying to to is protect the money,grow it a little,and outpace annual inflation.Hope you understand now why this is not a target for everyday investors.Many investors look for 20-150 units value add class B or C they can turn around instead.

I wouldn't begin to to try and say I know all the tricks and methods, but I've tried to learn new ways throughout my career.

I also looked into multi-units (duplex,triplex etc), but they all look run down or unattractive and the last thing I want to to attract the bad tenants.I guess my questions are: Are single family homes and condos good investment options or should I stick with apartments/multi units?

Thanks, it feels like I've started too late being a senior in high school now, but I've been listening to the podcast more in substitute for listening to to music, but in order to really understand all the terminology used in the podcast I've been reading the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide.

If you want to figure something out when it comes to repair, it's the first place I turn to, to see if there's an visual content on what I'm trying to achieve. 

PM me if you have questions or concerns or If your agent has issues gaining information feel free to to reach out for some guidance/techniques that I have employed to view properties.

The first one has no cash investment and the third one has a better cash flow, since there is no mortgage.I like to look at several things to to assess a deal.
