Your taxes will get more complex with rentals.

Anthony,First, a 5 unit apartment complex will be considered commercial real estate not residential. 4 units or less is residential.

Not to mention being able to free up our current equity for investing.This was all before we were even looking at investing in real estate.I am of course now trying to see if we would be better off purchasing an apartment complex instead of just renting.

I am taken back at the complexity and efforts this agent and husband have gone.

This is a very complex niche.

Jessica so you are saying you are looking at larger multifamily complexes that are of 100 plus units in size correct??

I didn't read anything about being accredited for Techvestor.Accredited investors are those individuals classified by the SEC asqualified to invest in complex or sophisticated types of securities.To become accredited certain criteria must be met, such as having an average yearly income over $200,000 or working in the financial industry.Sellers of unregistered securities are only allowed to sell to accredited investors, who are deemed financially sophisticated enough to bear the risks.Accredited investors are allowed to buy and invest in unregistered securities as long as they satisfy one (or more) requirements regarding income, net worth, asset size, governance status, or professional experience.Unregistered securities are considered inherently riskier because they lack the normal disclosures that come with SEC registration

Yes can be a great return if you analyze properly and are willing to take on.Remember things usually have a low price for a reason.You have to make sure you don't overpay for the reason and you are willing and capable to fix the problem to get the asset or complex performing again.If you can't or won't take that on then you need to find another property that does not have that particular issue to solve.

It's for a marketing piece I'm working on, so complex charts would probably scare Joe homebuyer off.Thanks for looking through your stuff!

Also understand that real estate investing is so complex that any one idea is not sufficient to learn the entire realm of investment strategies.Michael Quarles
