He's an apartment syndicator and he knows his stuff! 

Also, how can I find out information on utilities in the area, HOA fees (or even if they are a part of an HOA), garbage, and so on. 

The brokers I try to contact are apartment and mobile home park communities.

The apartment manager (who didn't live there) needed independent third-party verification before taking action.

Along the way I’ve learned a thing or 3 in how to efficiently set homes apart from the norm.

I have a client looking at a 12 unit apartment building, 12 stoves, 12 fridges, 12 dishwashers, 2 large water heaters, 12 garbage disposals.

Start slow there are so many problems with multi-units.I flipped 35 houses and would never do an apartment ...never.  

So maybe adding a ramp access outside is readily achievable so you'd want to do that, but completely tearing apart an existing bathroom to create the necessary space is not readily achievable; 2) is the property in a historic district?

I want to build something that my children can be a part of as they get older and can be passed down to them.I am interested in networking with local realtors, lenders, contractors, attorneys, property managers and anyone else who can help me build a successful real estate business and in turn I help them as well.Looking forward to meeting everyone!
