I'm heavily considering investing in apartment complexes (5+ units), and would prefer to read as much as i can before delving into the industry.

You're right and the younger set and investors come into the complex to buy. 

(For that matter, DWV plumbing is much more complex than electricity or water supply, but I digress.) 

I remember my first apartment complex offered this.

In order to grow my portfolio, I have decided to sit down with my attorney and start an LLC.Aside from this complex (in my opinion) aspect, I just don’t know where or how to learn about the “how to start a business” side.

Looking for pointers from anyone who has successfully appealed an apartment complex property tax assessment.

Currently the unemployment is lower than 5%, this is due to many plants and factories in need of workers and the housing is at about an 800 unit deficit (with 2 new complexes). 

We bought a 12 unit townhouse complex from a local Dr who owned the property outright.

Hello everyone,I manage a 10 unit complex here in north Georgia.

I'm communicating with probably the best TIC operations attorney in the country (I'll introduce him later), his firm deals mainly with conversions of larger complexes and HOAs and works nationally and on an international scale. $$$$$!
