My partners and I own a small construction company and we want to transition from regular construction activities to using our crews and subs to work on our own flips.

My current expertise is in construction so I tend to think of flipping as the easiest transition.  

The vast majority of those problems are self inflected and easily avoided.Once you have a tenant you then transition into tenant training.

This would bring the NOI to 2015: $33,000 and 2014: $31,000.I should also note that this apartment is transitioning away from a Rural Development Multi-Family housing unit where rent was capped at $450, and will now be able to rent for around $500-$550. 

These usually are in lower-end areas, but you can find them in transitioning neighborhoods pretty easily too.

He wont give up.I believe the apt building with be a lot more to learn and will have some bigger CapEx.I believe the four-plex route might provide more time to learn and transition to the apt buildings and grow more equity while doing so.If you want a challenge, and ready to leap forward, knowing that their may be a lot of obstacles go for the apt building.Either way, stay focused, work hard, and enjoy being an investor!

I started off with single family apartments, in the last 8 years I have transitioned to college housing.

I have been in new home construction and remodel for the last 20 years as a contractor and as a GC...although fairly new to BP, and investing, we are excited about what we've been missing..but it has given us the experience necessary to be successful as we transition into REI.

I have been in the Air Force for the last 9 years and recently transitioned to Air National Guard, and currently in pilot training.

After you have 6-12 months of expenses saved and you have some real estate experience, then you can maybe transition full time and know that you have yourself covered for a while.
