There are options out there but it definitely won't be as sweet as deals with higher loan amount that are purchases (bridge is more limiting than purchases).

Depending on the complexity of the deal, you can have a few revisions, negotiations to the contract.To me, the focus of the calls is to gauge whether or not the seller is motivated to sell, and if it fits into my buy box, and the price fits my return criteria.

It depends on the number of Units, Residential or Commercial, Apartment Complex or mix of Single Family and Multifamily.Under 25 unit - Tenant Cloud, Rentech.Under 100 - Then Doorloop/Buildium.100+ - AppFolio, Yardi, Rent Manager.Apartment Management : Yardi seems to be wildly usedSingle Family ( Mixed ) - AppFolio seems to be popularRent manager has a good customer support team.

Thus, I am interested in suburban space near major cities, not the downtown inventory that is trading for pennies on the dollar, but often involve massive office complexes that will have huge holding costs until they get leased up. 

@Eli Kantor The complex I still follow having invested and owner occupied is over 30 years old and has 340 units.

I'm very interested in apartment complexes and have been trying to learn as much as I can about investing in them.

lol, it's that God complex that they all got.

We will able to make light to medium renovations and have additional team  members available for more complex renovations

The great thing is you get to set your own rules and experiment until you find that sweet spot for you. 

I know CA investors buying in Dallas and San Antonio, specifically apartment complexes and an Austin investor (who lives there) buying land to build retail.
