Very much could have been a miss on your part, which is sad, because you'll have to eat it for a fiscal year, and then either raise rent by 100 to cover this or say its a required piece of rental dues (1000 rent + 50 per month for sewer, for example).

@Henry Clark has been incredible recently in sharing his knowledge and @Scott Krone certainly knows the business too.Regardless, of how you piece your learning together, everything (soup to nuts) for an Acquisition is either FINDING a lead, EVALUATING to determine if it's a deal, now you're in the PURCHASING phase, and after you close, it's then all about MANAGING the Operations so that you are increasing both Income & Equity/Value.Also, you may think that it makes more sense to build than to buy, in which case you’ll want to learn about Development & Conversions.

I'd like enlightenment regarding what changes hitting 100, 150, 200 + units as I'm sure some things start to become issues and/or things to deal with due to sheer volume.I'm all ears..  

Depends on the lease, I would plant the bug in their ear as early as possible.

My best piece of advice is to find someone on these forums that have done exactly what you are looking to do in your area.

I like this strategy Erik, but I have another piece of information, I'm a veteran and have access to a VA loan.
