The LVP is everywhere now...apartment complexes, hospitals, doctor offices, schools, etc...are using the (commercial) glue down version. 

I am so glad every time I hear someone say this and not lay out a plan how to start with a wholesalebusiness (one of the hardest and most complex things to master IMO) and then make some cash to eventually buy a rental property.

This is from the State of Florida website:Needs a LicenseDoes not need a LicenseAppraising or attempts to appraise real property for another for compensation excludes services that must be performed by a Licensed or Certified Appraiser under Chapter 475, Part II, Florida Statutes.A salaried employee of an owner of an apartment community working in an onsite rental office.Auctioning or attempts to auction real property of another for compensation.The owner of a timeshare period who later offers the timeshare period for resale.Selling or attempts to sell real property of another for compensation.Any person or business entity that rents or advertises for rent a public lodging establishment properly licensed in Chapter 509.241, Florida Statutes.Buying or attempts to buy real property of another for compensation.A tenant in an apartment complex who receives a referral or finders fee, not to exceed $50, for the referral of a tenant.

Ben:While we do not wholesale, we target/canvass neighbourhoods and specific {multi-family} complexes for our own acquisition purposes.  

Such tenant-occupied real estate sales have added complexity and risk and must be properly navigated

Investors,I am currently interested in looking into a single unit apartment, which would be managed under a larger, apartment complex - to which I would not own. 

Be sure and read Yelp and Google reviews of the properties they are already managing if they are larger complexes

I was wondering if I surveyed and divided it into say ten lots with common parking like a condominium, would I then be able to build 4unit apartment buildings per each smaller lot and finance each 4 unit apartment like a house with a traditional mortgage on each?

By nature, the square footage of the urban abode is significantly less than a similar priced suburban or exurban dwelling.In 1920s a complex called Tutor City was build in Midtown Manhattan near the East River.  

Large firms will flip apartment complexes, large retail buildings, large office buildings, etc.How do they find these for sale?
