At one point years ago, I toyed with the idea of owning giant apartment complexes in multiple cities.

As a few have mentioned, the best way would be to call the listing agents directly, but depending on how much time you want to dedicate, setting and going on multiple appointments with different people could prove to be time-consuming. 

I ask from an ignorance perspective -- what's unfair about the commercial loan game and how does a mentor help?

But regardless, this was really confusing how the credit boosting stuff worked with a property with multiple tenant profiles and I wish this has been clearer how it worked in that case.6) My duplex has two addresses. 

. - I've had multiple vacancies, including one where the tenant left after a year and cost me $6k in turn costs.

The city has changed Section 8 requirements multiple times lately.  

@Scott Trench appreciate your insight and perspective!

You can target lists through a multiple list source sites, skip trace those lists, then market to those buyers through cold calling, SMS campaigns, direct mailers, and/or door knocking; amongst other routes.

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

It seems like you have some very solid goals of multiple income streams, and a well calibrated risk tolerance.
