I am most interested in investing in multi family properties and I hope to soon be investing in small, or even large or medium sized apartment complexes.

Did you market to the same audience up to 7 times rotating between different mediums ex. yellow letter one time, then post cards etc.?

While I personally don't like to hold properties in companies, the people I know who do tend to suggest roughly $500K equity per company as a happy medium between getting too complicated and spreading around the risk.

@Michael Baum Hey, so a lot of the homes I manage are in the low to medium price range and many owners just aren't willing to put up a lot of money to make their property improve.

When I talk to Airbnb hosts here in Denver, I tell them to consider transitioning to medium-term furnished rentals of 3-months or so.

We are hoping that this might ultimately pay off in either a short or medium term. 

It's a pretty exciting investment medium.   

Anyone who has 5 or more properties (or 10 in some cases) is going to a local lender (or a HML who does medium term financing) to get a loan because they no longer meet Fannie or Freddie guidelines and can't get a "traditional" loan.

I figured $2500 would be a happy medium.

Seasonality at the beach is dramatic, and weeks or month long contracts are easy to obtain almost anywhere in the South because of housing demand shortages, particularly in places like Charlotte (8000 listed homes, and 60,000 applications for those homes for medium term rentals).
