@Joshua Goston I recently wrote an article on apartment syndication you can read here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10145/72118-sy...As for deals that I have done and what I did wrong: 1.

ISO 203k approved contractor in the Houston, TX area. predominately Multi family projects.need someone to walk a property with me this week!

I am looking at a deal just north of Houston that is 2 4-plexs on 1 lot, and I wanted to double check on cap ex and maintainence numbers.All city utilities, flat roofs, built in 1966, updates have been done, some new ac’s.

I then show them the apartment in group showings to maximize my time.

I suspect that--generally speaking--tenants looking to live in a SFH/row home will be a bit more on the stable lifestyle spectrum than those living in apartments.

Now, I have not looked inside the apartment yet but if pictures prove worthy, then it should not need any work.

@Louis Vaughn I'm in the MF space and own a couple apartments myself.

If it's a standard Lakewood up/down duplex it probably has a plaster ceiling under the ceiling tile-- at least all the ones I visited when my son was apartment hunting were plaster.IMO, the "nicest" fix (assuming the old plaster is in poor condition) is to scrape off the acoustic  tiles and then drywall over the old plaster with a smooth finish; the cheapest fix, if the only problem is the one tile you pictured, will be to screw up the tile(s) that is/are lose, cover the screw with a little joint compound and then primer and paint the ceiling; If you are lucky the tiles have already been painted before.

This is the mm for the home depot brand that locks together and some complained about coming apart.

That’s not too bad for a part time gig.
