Hello,  We have been doing apartments for like 15 years and recently started venturing in shopping strips. 

i am looking for someone that has extensive knowledge and is actively wholesaling commercial apartment buildings, if anyone know of these type of individuals please, please let me know. my email: thanks

Ask for a tour of at least one of the apartments and the basement.

I’d buy a multi family apartment house and buy it out of state if you truly want good cash flow each month .

My initial visit was to consider a wholesale strategy or a lease option as my exIt but then I was considering moving my family from our 2 bedroom apartment to this home.

I own a few properties in the Hudson Valley, NY (Poughkeepsie, Fishkill area for those familiar - B&C areas):7-unit apartment: $500,000 equity - free & clear5-unit mixed use: $400,000 equity - 7 years left on a small mortgage held by prior ownerSingle family (my personal home): $375,000 equity - free & clearSingle family: $80k equity - 22 years left on mortgage, worth about $300kOther than my personal home, all properties are breaking even as rentals - not losing money, not making money. 

Specific interests include small apartment buildings (rather than older homes split into units) with 4-8 doors to start with. 

I'm an aspiring real estate investor with the ultimate goal to one day own an apartment complex and live my life with full financial freedom.   

For example, home purchasers often include a contingency that specifies that the contract is not binding until the purchaser obtains a satisfactory home inspection report from a qualified home inspector.contractAn oral or written agreement to do or not to do a certain thing.conventional mortgageRefers to home loans other than government loans (VA and FHA).convertible ARMAn adjustable-rate mortgage that allows the borrower to change the ARM to a fixed-rate mortgage within a specific time.cooperative (co-op)A type of multiple ownership in which the residents of a multiunit housing complex own shares in the cooperative corporation that owns the property, giving each resident the right to occupy a specific apartment or unit.cost of funds index (COFI)One of the indexes that is used to determine interest rate changes for certain adjustable-rate mortgages.
