That's a more complex question that it might seem.Folks who make commissions off buying and selling houses love the idea of buying a start house, a move up house, a mini mansion and then a move down retirement house.

Here, we have a 2bd apt at 450 in an older complex, new units going on line are and will be the same.

I like the guys that work for an apartment complex by day and do side work on nights and weekends.

Hi All,I'm currently looking to buy a multifamily but I'm wondering whether I should go for bigger complex instead of 4plexes.These are the the pros and cons that came in to my mind (Please feel free to add)Pros for 4 plexes:- Conventional financing- Easier to sellCons for 4 plexes:- More expensive price per unit compared to bigger complex- Smaller return compared to bigger complex- More competition in making offers (harder to find good deals)Pros for bigger complex:- Cheaper price per unit- Higher return- Less competition in making offersCons for bigger complex:- Commercial financing- Harder to sell- It's like putting a lot of eggs in one basketA little bit of background about me: I'm a buy and hold investor and currently looking to buy in Arizona.

In other words, spending several thousand dollars to organize a $100K flip deal makes a lot less sense than it does on a $5 million apartment complex.

I've lived in apartment complexes where they were replacing the windows, and told us to clear everything within 5 feet of the windows on a certain repair date.In the future, for future tenants, put it in your lease what can be used as storage.

That's more complex.

Jon Holdmanmy mom is 100% on board with this idea. i did not realize the complexity of what i thought was a simple deal.

I've been a property investor here for 13 years so I understand the principles of investing however, the market in the U.S. is much more complex than the regulated market here.

Also messing around with things might make the problem worse and then you have water damage you didn't expect and it compounds.There are some things with the apartments I had that were basic and some that were complex.
