There are a lot more elements to a real estate transaction (especially multifamily) than I had originally thought but it was definitely worth it.

Another key element is surrounding yourself with like-minded people, experience investors that you can learn from.

Your association sounds unique because it's not responsible for exterior elements, such as roofs and windows, which are the big ticket items subject to special assessments.

There is always an element of reluctance from the tenants, so posting a notice with a follow-up call/email is a good combination.

What key elements do you look for when your apprentice brings a property worth looking at to the table?

First off I want to say that this is the best forum I've ever read and interacted with.

I noticed some people offer courses, but I want to interact with people and learn from others.If anyone can suggest alternatives, I'd love to hear them.  

I would suggest to build your own model using Excel or Google sheets.This way you will know how each input affects your outcome and how various parameters depend on and interact with each other. 

Thank you for taking the time to reply and I would love to interact with you all!

We've got a great opportunity to capitalize on more people coming here, businesses moving here, lower priced options vs neighboring metros, stable and growing appreciation, a supply/demand imbalance in favor of the investor, current mortgage rates, and a plethora of other elements that make this one of the best Real Estate markets in the country.
