Something that I find very valuable is the access to the locals, other businesses, and city leaders in these areas when investing in commercial.

Currently, I would love to have the opportunity to be a part of, or do some BRRRRs in the area.

For garden style apartments, average OpEx was $5,661 per unit per year.

One suggested signing up for their service plan ($20/month per apartment) which includes one annual boiler checkup prior to the winter to avoid issues like mine and small discount on regular plumbing services (50% off of service call charge of $95 and 10% off labor costs after).Is this something you guys would recommend?

Is this an "over-under duplex", a 2-unit duplex with the apartments stacked on top of each other?

Research the agents that have recently sold other apartment buildings in the area.

I will share that it is difficult to convert any SFH or duplex to a triplex as you go from IRC building code (1-2 family homes) to IBC building codes which are much more restrictive as it is for any commercial building which is any 3+ unit including 100-200 unit apartments so there is sound and fire ratings that have to be adhered to.Hope this helps.

As part of my career advancement in real estate investing, I'm looking for access to more capital to reinvest and fund deals.
