In apartment complexes, a new manager and an infusion of capital for renovations can make a huge positive impact on value.

I would also refer to Brian Heckmann, whom we've used for one complex eviction and have gotten consulting with on others when we went the DIY route but wanted a little backup.We purchased and studied the Nolo book "California Landlord's Law Book vol2 : evictions" (although an older version than currently sold on Amazon). 

In the south Texas/ Rio Grande Valley area fourplexes are extremely common with entire subdivisions being comprised solely of fourplexes rather than large apartment complexes and the builders there keep on building them.

So to break that down, that would be: - 1x apartment complex with 10 units- 10x SFH - 5x duplexes or 2x fourplexes and a duplexAn 10 unit apartment would run 500-million plus right?

Thanks for the input, very helpful as we are trying to eliminate the complex ideas and get down to the simplest solution for us AND whoever does the taxes.

Just received word that my 60 unit apartment complex construction is approved!

You are basically adding an additional layer of complexity to your existing business model. 

Tenants like the small complex feel.

As your holdings get more complex you'll need a strong team.

Is that a complex, expensive process?
