Any complex over 4 units is considered commercial, so any apartment building counts.

I'm in process of trying to solidify a deal with other partners/investors to build an 88 unit apartment complex in a rapidly growing area.

they generally know by this time after inspections, appraisals, etc...I had a tenant who moved out several months after we took over her complex.  

I'm new to this (apartment complex).

Tax preparation is complex, but TurboTax Software really takes the guessing out of it.

I am considering a property that has great numbers, but the 4 building complex has septic issues like:  drain-field, "bubbling" due to renters putting "6-7 people" in the apartments, etc. 

Ok, I admit that I am cheap......Do you have a friend in Seattle that rents from a large, professionally managed apartment complex or from a large SFH rental provider? 

For example, if I have a client who tells me that they have everything they own in a business entity and I advise that we buy an apartment complex and place it in that entity, I have probably given very bad advice exposing all of their assets to tenant claims.

Weather is a lot more complex than just saying, "the average temps are increasing, therefore everywhere must be getting hotter every day

In my market I am consistently mailing postcards twice a month to the same apartment complexes within 5 miles of my houses, keeping my ads running in the papers and put out 50 signs each week.
