My life is getting more abstract and complex, and I want that maximum optimal for myself!

While that’s appealing, the added complexity with tenant turnover, varying personalities, and managing shared spaces can make it a bit of a trade-off.I’m curious, how does it look in other markets?

To pencil out whether a deal is good I work at a high level and have maybe a 15-25 tasks and to actually manage the work once I buy a property I might have a a couple hundred tasks depending on the complexity of the job. 

Just be aware that this adds another layer of complexity, and you’ll want to check with both your lender and a real estate attorney to make sure everything is set up correctly.When it comes to terms, owner financing gives you a lot of flexibility:Interest rate: You want something attractive to the buyer but that compensates you for the risk of holding that second lien.Repayment schedule: You can choose a traditional 15- or 30-year schedule, or go with something shorter if you want to be paid off sooner.Balloon payment: Many owner-financed deals include a balloon payment, meaning the buyer pays off the remaining balance after a set period (usually 5-10 years).

An accountant can help you navigate complex tax rules and keep your records in order, potentially saving you more than their fee.

Purchase price: $1,300,000 Cash invested: $260,000 25 unit apartment complex What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

(for example, before me moved in the house in 2021, we were renting an outdated 2bd apartment across the street for 4 yrs, apartment complex amenities were in a very bad shape (unusable), and we were paying about $1,600/mo and they were about to increase it to $1,850/$1,900.

I realize residential financing doesn't currently allow for this and pulling money out down the road could be more complex or strictly in the commercial lending realm.Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Stuart Udis: I continue to see more and more posts suggesting real estate investors should go from buying 2-4 unit buildings to buying larger apartment complexes.

This is different if you own a 100 unit complex and need an onsite manager, you hire the person knowing they are hired as an employee and will have a place to stay while they are there..
