I would definitely NOT recommend this option, especially if you are in an apartment complex... even if you own it... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/realestate/renovating-in-new-york-let-er-rip-not-so-fast.html?

My dream is to purchase an apartment complex via owner or partnership financing.I am looking for connections in Utah and would love to meet up and get lunch.

We are building a couple apartment complexes in Boise, Idaho now. 

. $300k asking6 unit complex. 

@Sochima Eze I would listen to every BP podcast on managing apartment complexes, and I would read as many blog posts as possible before deploying any capital.

I found a large (32 unit) multi-family complex in Detroit for $815000 before closing costs, taxes, etc.http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1...I used the analyzer on the site and one from http://www.finestexpert.com/Investment-Property/Fo... to crunch the numbers and see if I was using the tools correctly.Note: This is only for my education.

In Oregon for instance one city ban's nightly rentals  No Air BnB  you must have a permit to do this and they only give out a small hand full.This also illustrates clearly that when you buy rentals that are going to be section 8 your property is what it is and will never really go anywhere as for good bad or indifferent you are on the face lower the perception and reality of the area... so when you look at what's happened in the last 20 years were rental business has exploded into mom and pops you have whole sections of towns and cities that will go through and have gone through exactly what this article describes.The only time this reverses is if like this property its a big complex and the owners have the right to do this... or if its SFR in an area of a city that is regentrifing @Ben Leybovich  watching the move Thomas Crown Affair when I was on the stair master and the lead female ( Rene Russo) character was born and raised in Lima Ohio... how random is that.

My local credit union just uses TransUnion.....my first apartment complex used Experian.....my first mortgage used Fico....and on and on.I would recommend you first ask to speak to a supervisor (typically the clerks you deal with can't override bank policies) at your bank and see if they will go with your highest score.  

That's the reason I don't buy 1s, only complex with a good mix of 1s and 2s or SFRs.3. 

Share your values with the tenants and enlist their support in keeping their complex and community attractive and crime free.
