So far, I haven't found one that makes much sense, but I'm learning and refining.I'm not planning to tackle something to the scale of a 200+ unit class A apartment complex, while it might be less risk it also means lower margins and I'm not interested in being a passive investor and I don't want to start there (unless the stars aligned somehow). 

-We want to buy as soon as we can to reap the rewards of investing, cash flow and equity buildup.So… what should we tackle first?

We've been trying to tackle the smaller projects but have been disappointed so far with schedule and buget overruns.Also, any tips on how to properly vet property management companies?

Quite a few options out there and I'm not comfortable using Legal Zoom to tackle it myself.Thanks!
