They're pretty available, can probably pick a blank up from a big apartment complex and customize to suit your needs. 

We kept it as a possible landing spot when we return to the U.S.My area of interest for investing is single family, duplex or 3-4 unit apartments in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas area and San Antonio, Texas. 

Specifically, I'm thinking about issues that will only become visible after an inspection by a professional.

After sometime sitting on the sidelines I think its time to introduce myself and give a big shout out to all that have been a part of making Bigger Pockets the valuable resource that it is. 

If I had the same "problem" I would put it all down on a multi-unit complex and work my way up to apartment complexes that could afford a Property Management Company.

I have $25k to use toward my first multi family apartment building.

My thought was to offer her 4% or hourly rate with 4% max gross income  for Fielding calls (maintenance, emergencies, questions re policies, complaints, etc.)Inspecting units (bi annually, more in questionable situations)checking for leaks twice per year (part of inspection, putting blue tabs in toilet tanks, etc.)driveby's once per week (check for trash, exterior problems, etc.)We would do everything else.

They have to apply, have a site visit, pass inspection (safety stuff usually) and then get certified for section 8.

Would anybody recommend a brokerage or realtor that know about which apartment complexes are for sale?

In one of the early podcasts, the individual managed to convince his wife to sell their big house, move in to a smaller apartment and use their sales proceeds to invest in cash-flowing rental properties!
