I'm from Leesburg and have apartments in Montgomery. 

The most common answer, especially in recent times, is highly levered, floating rate debt.This is not the only answer, by any means. 

I have been filling my pipeline for the past 4 months but everything thus far has fell apart.

I am currently selling a 16-unit apartment complex, the first one to sell since 1998 when this buyer bought this one!

With an 8% mortgage rate, they would pay more than $650k in interest.One major problem for both buyers and owners beyond mortgage rates is the rising cost of property tax and insurance.

What if you have an apartment complex with 20 units?

Taxes : Taxes have been a brewing crisis nationwide for sometime, Chicago is another prime example of a major municipality struggling under high debt load.

Ensure you collect a proper security deposit (typically one month's rent in Florida) to cover potential damages.Your plan to increase rent next year makes sense given rising costs (taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

As home values rise, so does your net worth.

Most of the US real estate market has seen inventory continue to rise with a lot of relisting and stale dated listings, but Valdosta seems to be a “Great White Buffalo” (if you get the movie reference).
